I can confirm that all five of the pictures were cartoons done for the Illustrated London News 20 Dec 1941 edition. The artist was G. H. Davis. They were done to illustrate an accompanying article. You have them in the right order, but there was one more, no. 5, which depicted a portside view of Repulse tearing along through a storm of explosions and fire.
