The earliest reference that I could find for these two issues using these reference numbers is in the 1960 American Card Catalog. It contains the following:

M101-4 - Premium Cards (200) about 1915, 1 5/8 x 3, b&w, blank back, LIke Weil D329, Globe Suits, Incl. Baird, Bender, Cady, Devore, Gandil, Judge, Mowrey, Tyler, Wambsganss

M 101-5 - Premium Cards (200) about 1916, 1 5/8 x 3, b&w, blank bk. An. Like Standard bis. D350, Morehouse D352. Incl. Bresnahan, Coombs, Costello, Marsans, Nunamaker, Pfeffer, Pierce, Schaefer. (Sets 4 and 5 are alike except for some players and most numbers).

Both issues are listed at a price of $0.30 each (compare to T206 at $0.10).

The 1946 and 1953 ACC guides appear to list the sets together as part of the M5 issue:

M5 - Baseball Players (200) small, b&w, The Sporting News ($0.04 each in 1946 and $0.20 in 1953).
