Unknown Salmon/Steelhead Flies

I was in the process of doing an inventory of flies I tied but had not bagged and tagged them yet when I came across these flies. I tied these flies sometime between late 2019 and the present. 

I honestly don't remember which of the many books I have on salmon & steelhead flies they came from or if I found them on a website on the world wide web.

It must have been a senior moment or CRS (can't remember shit) syndrome.

Hook - Mustad 3906/3906B

Thread - Black.

Tail - Small bunch of black cock hackle equaling the hook length.

Back - A strip of black crow wing or substitute, doubled over lengthways and reaching almost halfway down the sides of the fly, tied in by the tip end.

Body - The original dressing has an underbody of black marabou silk, wrapped with a strip of clear plastic from a particular washing up pot cleaner. Clear Vinyl Rib or Nymph Rib can be substituted. They are three times thicker, so the underbody can be eliminated.

Hackle - Two turns of black cock, the fibers the same length as shank (leave full, not gathered underneath into a throat style).
