Wayang painting

Looking to learn a bit more about these Wayang paintings. Vibrant colors on cloth. They all seem to show good age but how much exactly? Two have inscriptions. What kind of script is it? What was the purpose of these paintings? Were they used in conjunction with the puppet shows? What do these scenes represent? Sorry for all the questions but these are interesting items and would love to learn as much as I can about them.
