Sorry -- I can't offer much here. I don't own these books, and don't have copies on hand. But so far as I can tell, and based on a Wikipedia page so take it with a grain of salt, the Anglo-American Encyclopedia was published in 1902 (and for several years afterward), and simply stole parts of the Brittanica. Werner seems to have done the same thing in 1909.
It is quite possible that one publisher pulled the same sleazy trick under two names, or that two publishers pulled it one time each.
