    The Brick Association Technical Notes 15 on salvaged bricks relates the history of salmon brick. Salmons were those bricks from the lower temperature areas of the kiln. They were not meant to be used on exterior wythes, just interior wythes, for exactly the reasons stated, they do not weather well. Perhaps the depression/war economy forced the use of these seconds for the exteriors of some of the buildings you cited.
