After much research I have come to the conclusion that these are in fact rebound original printings & that the original book covers & band were bound into the back of each book.
New covers are Morrocan leather, raised band, paper-over-boards with decorative gilting and gilted pages. Gauffered edging in gold gilt. Inside feathered boards matching band color of each book.
Marginalia penciling noted.
IX indicating 2nd state on content pages.

I know this is from some time back, but did you ever get a conclusive answer to these books and their vintage?
