Well, it's already been established that these objects consist of more than one star and have not evolved to the planetary nebula stage. The "four of the others" that I mentioned earlier are, in fact, M27, M57, M76, and M97.

I'll drop a hint that dwelling on their physical characteristics is heading down the wrong path.
