Check the alpha channel for those odd PNGs.
JPEG doesn't sup****t alpha so when those images were converted it
probably defaulted to 0xff (full alpha or full opacity).

In Paint.Net (probably Gimp too) just select the area you want
transparent and hit delete.
It should become a gray and white checker board pattern (de facto for
invisible stuff)
