I doubt that these were used for 35mm distribution, although it is possible that the occasional theater used them, particularly if the owners had a 70mm house and retained them.
They probably went to 70mm houses direct from Warners. If you had a roadshow pressbook, you could check to see what they were actually named. "Lobby card set" sound doubtful.
