Okay, I gave the audio a good listening and figured out what was what. These TV spots appear to be for the July 21, 1978 re-release of Star Wars. There are at least 7 of them, of which 4 are included (audio and video) on the official Bonus Materials DVD. However, the others we only have the audio for (thanks again, David!). Maybe someday the video will turn up as well. In the meantime, here's some details on the 7 spots:
