There is no seasonal or monsoon rainforest due to the low axial tilt.
The orange is a climate with no exact equivalent. It's savanna-like, but with year-round rainfall. (But not quite dry enough to be steppe.)
The east coast mid-green is humid subtropical.
The tan/beige is steppe and the yellow is desert. (Simplified with hot and cold combined.)
The west coast graded greens are warm, cool, and cold marine.
The purple is continental.
The lavender is tundra.
And the white is ice cap.
Seems fairly straightforward. By the way, given the size of the Oceans, won't storms on this world have the potential to reach a pretty frightening level?

Permian Earth:

So no, the OP's maps are not an old configuration of Earth. However, I do see where you're coming from because the middle north continent reminds me of North America, and the middle south west continent reminds me of a squashed Africa.
Precisely. And I do remember someone aaaaages ago posting maps of a conworld that were basically those of the Earth from the Carboniferous (or something), so I didn't know if this was a reincarnation of that or a different project completely.

Different project completely. Okay.
Indeed it is completely different.
The maps were derived in part from a manipulated current map of Earth with a higher sea level, particularly the Americas.
