Based on a couple of observations I made I think they are SPEV's. That is to say not original production kits, but either end of line kits or perhaps packaged from spare parts and some aftermarket parts added to complete the kits.

To begin with that photo of the 1340 seems to have original instructions/literature, but a pink fin unit was not used with any I saw nor would Lee put an F52-5 in a 1340 kit. He would be more likely to put an F52-12 if going to CA or F67-14 if going anywhere else, or a G76-12 if going to a true "sounding rocket" customer.

The listing says "MIP" not "NIP", so it is not false advertising either, because who even knows what MIP means?
