There are a several points in support of your theory:

  • There’s a remarkable consistency of style, handwriting, theme, & technique across postcards.
  • The cards tend to use the same terms to refer to the same kinds of events, even though we would expect a variety of phrases or slang.
  • The site owners don’t archive the cards, making it harder to catch missteps.

Is that what you were thinking?
