A good number of them could easily be confused with contemporary material when shown on a roundie, but there's also a large number of them that would clearly pre-date the roundie to even the least informed viewer (shorts showing King George VI and the eventual Queen Mother, one showing Adolf Hitler, etc).
They're really quite fascinating, if you're into the travelogue genre to begin with. I discovered them on Tuner Classic Movies; they'll run one between two pictures from MGM on occasion.
