Mystery Marx Men

These two 6 inch spacemen are currently being Ebayed in the USA. The witty seller, sallyanddust, describes them as being marked as Marx. As also pointed out they do look like a sort of Major Matt design. I'm intrigued! Anyone know what they are?

PS. these guys remind me of the Michelin Man driving our friend the Moon Ranger! hee hee.

    There are a bunch of similar Mexican astronaut figures, some (like mine) having ape heads:
