My guess is that they date to post-Armistice so 1919 or thereabouts. Given the numbers of AEF personnel captured by Germany and the general POW conditions by 1918, I would rule out that possibility. The Benning Line card might be a reference to Fort Benning which was founded in early 1918 as a basic training camp for troops being sent to France. Also, Coblenz am Rhine was in the U.S. Occupation zone from early 1919 until the last few thousand troops left in 1923
