[Phono-L] Cylinders not Edison, but whose?

Can someone help me with these records, please? I have books on Edison and EBA records, but nothing on these. The boxes say: Everlasting, Indestructible, Oxford, Columbia. The records, however, look VERY similar.

They have a flat top, are either 2 or 4 min and with different boxes. The only differences I see in the records themselves, is in the way the patent date is written: 
PAT'D. July 29,'02 
PAT. July 29, 1902    4M (the latter I'm sure means a 4 min record...it's in a 4 min labeled box)

Since they are in different boxes, I don't know which is which, or whose. :) 
Or are they all RELATED?? 
A couple have tops which correspond to boxes. A few are pictured at the following link:
