All of those on your list, Theo, are on the Lloyd Anversois list except three: LLOYD, COLONIA and ARGENFELS
LLOYD and COLONIA are understandable. I believe that they were French-flag ships with French-resident registered owners, so were automatically under the control of the French authorities. It was their owners who were, in turn, German owned, and those businesses were probably sequestrated along with many German-owned businesses in France.
LLOYD: Tender for Norddeutscher Lloyd liners calling at Cherbourg; owned with French partners
COLONIA: Heckmann & Compagnie, Alger
Cannot see why ARGENFELS not listed
