They are definitely not W501-2 examples, because of their non-grainy look, thicker paper stock, and different position designations for certain positions (for example '1st B' instead of the '1B') than what would be seen on W501-2 cards.

Those are all 1921 parallel to E121 Series of 80 subjects or are from that era of the print run (likely from the same vintage collection I’d imagine) so they would not be W501-2…as the W501 series is a parallel set to the E121 Series of 120 set in 1922.
They were probably cut from a poster/sheet due to crazy bottom cuts. We know of a few sheets that exist…no idea if they were sold this way or if that was an advertising poster to sell the cards.
