The writeups/stats/signatures on the back of these are all (?) verbatim copies from the 1941 Sporting News Baseball Register. Even the line breaks in the text are the same. (The collaged images are also identical to that pub.)
See Dizzy Dean's baseball register entry, for example (ebay photo):

My two cents is that I think they are from the period, made at the same time as the Baseball Register.
What size are those 1940s Baseball Registers, same as these prints? (6x9)
