They are uncirculated/unused labels from the Drum tobacco pouches. There are 2 different size varieties. They are "related" to Drum cigarettes, but not the same product and would not have been on packaging that related to card distribution.

I should also add that the information on T206 museum is incorrect. As much as people would like to believe that cards were packaged with Drum tobacco to increase the value of their packs, that's simply not the case. Drum tobacco pouches are fairly plentiful. Opened ones sell for $50-$75 depending on condition. Full ones sell for up to $200 depending on condition.

Finally, the Drum cigarette box pictured above is graphically similar to the one used for T206 distribution, but it is not the correct graphics/box.
