They were from his early years as a photographer estimated somewhere
around 1919 – 1930’s, well before he became well known

According Wikipedia, his first photographs about Yosemite Park were
taken with a Kodak Brownie about 1916, however from 1917 he was taken
photographs at the area using different cameras and lenses, it's sure
he was using glass plates in 1927 (f.e. Monolith, the Face of Half
Dome, taken with his Korona view camera using glass plates and a dark
red filter)

The glass plates size are 6.5"x8.5", this is the negative size for the
Korona View Camera mentioned above (from my own brief research).
This CNN article adds several details to believe the negs are AA's work:
