The Kenmore doublet we know the origin of, as Andersons introduced that style sometime around 1920.
About the "Balmoral doublet" I wonder who coined that name, and when.
Nearly all Victorian doublets had open collars with lapels, and they were universally called "doublets". No extra title was necessary.
(One gent is wearing a military-style doublet with stand collar. Anderson's "Kenmore doublet" is basically a civilianised version of that.)
