I never saw one.
They look like huge color slides, but that impossible...
My guess is they were hand painted on a grid full size, like a cartoon gell...
Projection on site seems unlikely...

This article says they were from a variety of cameras, but mentions an 8x20" for at least the early ones: https://medium.com/@Kodak/larger-tha...a-eecc5ba0193f
Negatives, printed huge, and assembled in sections.

I attended a Ozzie Sweet class at a photo convention some time ago (40 years) in Los Angles. Ozzie had done a few of these for Kodak using a large banquet camera 8"x20". Kodak enlarged them to mural sized transparency's. Very impressive.
Deardorff made the 8x20 Cameras.

Do not know the maker of the camera.
We sold Kodak the two first Linhof Technorama 617 for their Coloramas.
Their using them was how we and they found that the roughness of their paper on 120 and 220 films were the reason Cameras would have problems rolling exposed film completely onto the takeup spool and would sometimes strip gears in transport gears.
Agfa, Fuji and Ilford roll films had much slippery paper backings and did not have that problem. Kodak changed the paper shortly after.
"...use of a pool on the sixth floor of Kodak B28 where wet 20-foot transparencies were dried overnight. "
That would have been a sight to behold, I have to wonder what the rigging that was involved hanging a 20 foot transparency would be like.
Sadly I used to work in that area in the late 70's and early 80's and walked thru Grand Central daily, I probably saw them but never really noticed them.
I believe a few of the Coloramas were captured on 35mm. Kodachrome was a great film!
