Those texts may be printed by
Lightning Source (LSI), an Ingram print on demand service, but I doubt they are
published by Ingram. Both self-publishers and traditional publishers use LSI for printing.
LSI-printed books will have CPSIA information and a barcode on the back side of the last page, facing the inside back cover:

Recently one of our graduates discovered that someone is attempting to sell copies of their thesis on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other sites. The thesis
is freely available on our institutional repository, but under copyright with all rights reserved.
There's no publisher or seller information on any of the listings, but I looked up the ISBN number and it's registered to a company with the same address as
Ingram Content: https://www.ingramcontent.com/
There are some blog posts on this company publishing (or allowing self-publishing) copyrighted content. I'm now trying to find out more and wondering if anyone
