Those are the the original character selection icons from launch IIRC.
Those pictures look like they were extracted with a certain Viewer tool that a lot of people like to use. I recognize it because it doesn't preserve transparency unless you export it as BMP, and also because it ignores the dimensions specified in the texture header, so it ends up dumping the entire underlying power-of-2-sized image, which is why there's those repeating bits on the edges that shouldn't be there.
It was the general badness of said tool that originally motivated me to start exploring formats so I could write my own. 
I checked my archived copy of the launch client and extracted and converted these:
I've always liked those better.
Shame they didn't use them long term.

Not sure when/where I tracked these down, but found on (another) old CD... and since people were asking...
Note, you can (probably....) turn the colored background transparent with some editing software. I'm just posting as-found.
