Does anyone know if these are unlicensed or part of a bigger set? Both have a red W logo which I can't say I've seen before.

If you're a football collector that logo should look familiar; All World Sports Inc. They were around for a few years in the early 1990s.
Definitely unlicensed. These cards have no copyright so it's doubtful they were actually produced by All World. Someone has stolen All World's trademark. They've been added to the database, but I think they should be removed because of the copyright & trademark infringement. And they don't meet site guidelines.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

I'm not making the determination if they should stay or go... They do look a bit more advanced than your run of the mill bootleg. Possibly prototypes but impossible to know.
I did search by card number, but wouldn't have found it with ABC.

COMC has all six on that checklist - if you search through the "Sold Out" items. They have it listed as a "1991" set.

Based on the first card, I like the fact that Lemieux played centrO, not centrE or CentER. Also, both cards use the same picture.

That's because it's Spanish, the green card is in Spanish.

On the left, the front is in Spanish and the back is in French. On the right, both sides are in Spanish.

Unlicensed Mexican hockey cards...didn't know that was a thing in the 1990s.

They may not have been unlicensed, in the traditional bootleg sence. They may be more akin to the Action Packed and Pro Set prototypes for the NBA, which were made in the attempt to GET a license. (and I will always wish they had). These may have been samples made up to show the NHL/NHLPA what they were capable of doing. It was during the time when there was massive expansion in the hobby.
All-World went out of business in 1992, I believe. They produced Indycar sets from 1983-92.
-------------------------------
VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
