The fact that they have text on the back kind of suggests that they might not be copies. How thick is the paper: like writing paper, or the thickness of a cigarette pack? If I were you I would Google 'cigarette cards' and the company. Hope you find out. Some of those old cards are really interesting.
I just did a quick google myself: all kinds of sites. Here's one to start with.
