Middle left is The Providence Base-Ball Club, from Sept 30, 1882.
Bottom right left is The Chicago Base-Ball Club, from Oct 14, 1882.
Top left is International Base-Ball, The Boston Champions, from June 27, 1874.
I am certain of this, I have them in my hand at this moment.
The top right one is NOT a woodcut.
From looking at Mr. Lipset's cogent first volume of the Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards, I see that there was a half page woodcut of the Metropolitan team on August 5, 1882; but I see no 1883 woodcut for the Metropolitans. There are only 2 1883 woodcuts on the list, one for Chicago, depicting their new grounds, and one for Boston. That middle right woodcut may well be the Chicago 1883 woodcut.
Hope that helps.
