As you implied Henry they are obviously not "as issued."
They are at best an amalgamation of an albumen image pasted onto a different mount than originally issued and at worst a complete forgery. Hard to tell without holding the item in your hand to see if the image portion is original or not. If the albumen image is original they have some value (greatly diminished from their "original mount") but obviously if that central image is not original they have no real collectible value.
