Can't really help but
It seems that these would have been produced only during a relatively small window of time. Graham's first year in Montreal was 1941, Head's only year there was that season and Bell left for Baltimore in 1941 to play 40 games for the Orioles. Since they are all shown wearing Montreal uniforms it would seem the photos themselves would not have been taken until Spring Training in March at the earliest and maybe even after the regular season began. Since the minor league season would have ended by early September, Bell likely left the Royals for Baltimore in mid-July, and they likely had no reason to distribute his card at that point, in which case these cards would have an approximate run date of April-July, 1941.
Cool cards in any event.
