I like to ask that this puzzle is moved to the Pros, to see if they can finish it off... I've spent far too much idle time trying to find anything remotely resembling the as yet unsolved pictures but have had no luck, and I'm really curious to find out the answers.

duly moved :)

Can't be New Caledonia as it has been established none of them come from French, British or Dutch colonies. I'm going to ask if any come from US colonies (such as Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands...)
