I *seriously* doubt any of these have been legitimate weather balloons.
I have some experience in this area. OK, it was 20+ years ago, but little has changed.
The weather balloons used by the National Weather Service are launched twice a day (0:00 and 12:00 GMT) simultaneously (within a few minutes) by just under 100 locations in the US. The radiosonde is in a cardboard box, about 2 inches thick, by 4 inches wide, by 10 inches tall. The balloon is inflated to about 4 feet in diameter when launched, and will expand to several times that when they finally burst. They usually burst at about 80K feet, there's not much interesting weather above that altitude. The balloons are filled with helium (I seriously doubt anyone in the NSW is filling them with hydrogen because everyone is afraid they will explode). While the balloon is filling, the radiosonde is prepared. It uses a water-activated battery (about 18 volts), which has to be filled with a measured amount of water and attached to the 'sonde. Nowdays, the 'sonde is connected to a computer to set the calibration for the temperature and humidity. This is a really big deal. Back when I was doing it, the Vaisala brand 'sondes came with a punched paper tape that had to be run through the receiver. Boy! was that a pain! The tape had to be pulled through the reader at just the right speed, and had to be pulled through at a consistent speed. Just a little off, and you got an error. When the computer says everything is OK, the 'sonde is connected to a tether attached to a parachute (ours were orange crepe paper that had been treated with something so that the would last for a bit when wet, but would eventually fall apart). The tether is attached to a "drop-down reel" which is attached to the balloon. The reel slowly unwinds about 30 feet of cord after the balloon is released so the 'sonde is not in the "shadow" of the balloon. When everything is ready, the balloon is released, and away everything goes. ALL the NWS 'sondes transmit on 1680 MHz - you can listen to them if you have a scanner and are close enough. The 400-410 MHz range is still reserved for met. research.
In doing research, we also used drop 'sondes like are used in hurricane research. same basic internals and procedure, except that they are encased in a phenolic cylinder rather than a cardboard box, and went down rather than up. We used them because they are tougher and could be reused.
This isn't to say that some of these might not be legitimate weather research devices, they could be. But I strongly think they would be readily identifiable as such. They're going to have a bright parachute attached for one thing, and they will be transmitting on an identifiable frequency
