Just picked these up. Not counterstamped and no notarized papers on reverse of holder but sure looks like original coins in an original holder. Just don't see these very often anymore.

can't wait to get a closer look @ the reverse!

I've found a few sets of Cleveland halves that were obviously original to the holder. I have also seen a couple of dozen 1946 BTW sets in that same black holder, along with a few Cincinnati's. Based on everything I've seen, I would predict that you would not want to see the other side of the coins, anyway. If they're original to the holder, they'll be deeply toned and likely not very attractive.
If they're bright, then the coins did not spend the last 75 years in that holder. You might want to check the other side of the coins just to check for originality.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Hoard the keys.

What other examples do we have from the 1930's of faux patent alligator with "leafed" stamped lettering holders?

Absolutely original and dates to the 1930s.
While many Cleveland halves were shipped in these holders, the first 200 coins minted had a special notarized labels attached to the back, with the notary's commission expiring in 1939.
Here's mine, and I know another member of these forums has one of the first 200 as well.
