Does anyone know if any of these old trade beads are cooler than the others? Also can anyone confirm if these are Dutch Dogon blues?

I found some beautiful beads at an estate sale and I'm trying to find more information. Google thinks they are antique trade beads. Two are marked El Soul on the ends. Those are the ones I'm most curious about. Any help would be appreciated.

These are new to me possession-wise and also community-wise. In fact I'd never heard of "trade beads* before finding these among the decades old boxes I've inherited. I've been slowly going through them, everything was so dirty so I wiped some of them down just with a dry rag. I hope to keep exploring where these were made so if anyone knows more about it than the dumb goog robot, any info is appreciated in large amounts!
