Ah, you went to the original Monolith site. I thought you'd found them somewhere on that Gruntz Calcon site from the first post.
Those are all screenshots from the Standard Levels, although most of them (six) are from Battlez maps. The remaining three seem to be Questz, Stage 4 of their respective worlds.

You were more successful than I ... or maybe just more patient. Not all of the screenshots displayed, for me. I recognized the High On Sweetz 4 "The Intersection", but the rest seemed to be battlez, as you say.

Out of curiosity, I loaded Wayback Machine again and found some new information regarding the authorship of the level "High on Swordz".
The level can be seen in the October 29, 2000 archive of the downloads page of the "gruntz.calcon.net" site. That is way earlier than the date it was registered on our forum (October 23, 2003). The very early publication date and similarity of its design to "Alevel" makes it possible that Colin was the original designer of "High on Swordz". Perhaps it was brought to this forum from a second hand, possibly as an edited version, and another person got the credit. Unfortunately, Wayback Machine did not backup the level zip files, so we cannot download it and know for sure if that 2000 version of the level was any different from the one known to us.
Also, notice that Colin is consistently called bcmel2 on the site (not bemel2), this is even reflected in his email address.
From the old "gruntz.com" site I also learned of the existence of some more CLs we don't have, such as a Battlez map named "Grand Central Station, NY". Back in the day levels seem to have been sent from person to person through emails, so it's highly unlikely we'll ever get a hold of them.
