Hi John,
I don't think it was LEGO that made those. LEGO didn't start making bricks until
1949 when they made the Automatic Binding Bricks, the plastic prototypes to modern
LEGO. From 1932 (first year Ole Kirk Christiansen made toys with "LEGO" name)
until 1949, only wooden toys had the LEGO name. Chances are (and this isn't a
100% absolute) if there is no LEGO name, then it isn't LEGO.
