Without having them in hand, I'd guess they were of the era. Wire photos from the mid to late 30's usually had a sepia type tint to them, were generally of higher print quality with tighter and less distracting lines then those that came after that period, and often ran between 11" and 11 1/2" inches long/wide, which kind of jives with the size of these shots.
If I were to hypothesize, I'd guess they were separated as they are because they were originally laid out in the wrong order, if you follow his swing all the way through.
