Unfamiliar patterns in news articles: all born/ located
Using this milk, the team conducted a blind test on two groups of extremely premature babies, all born before 28 weeks.
Standouts among them are five traditional palaces, built during the Joseon Dynasty, all located in the capital city of Seoul.
Nowadays, I have seen the pattern in news article a lot and although I can understand what it means, I was wondering how it was made?
Is is a kind of participial construction and being is omitted like all (being) boring... and all (being) located...
Or is it a kind of relative clause and that(which) are(were) are omitted like ,all (that were) born...and ,all (that are) located...
What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance!

The two given sentences are okay. This appears to be ellipsis, which is very often encountered in English. " The words in parentheses are omitted for brevity and convenience and are understood from the context.
