Five matched break-resistant plastic gears ranging from 0.44" diameter(10 teeth) to 2.02" (50 teeth). Gears are molded with 0.15" (4mm) bores and come with inserts which reduce the bore to 0.065" (2mm) diameter. Set includes five gears and five inserts.

Module 1 gears
These appear to be metric module 1 gears with 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 teeth. The 20 tooth gear is marked "T20" and "CANADA" and the larger gears have similar markings. They fit the GR-86 4 GEAR SET perfectly, but have slightly smoother corners. The 10 tooth and some 40 tooth gears I received are white in color.

26 or 27 pitch not likely
Though I am impressed by your math, I doubt the pitch is 26 or 27. Since they come in a kit, I would expect them to have a standard pitch like 16, 24, 32, etc. Plus, there were probably manufactured overseas. Converting the measurements to metric and comparing to those standards, it's a good chance those gears are a module (metric "pitch") 1.

Pitch Calculation
The easy way to find the pitch accurately is to add two to the tooth count and use the outside diameter. Pitch = (N+2) / OD. this formula is exact for standard gears. Second, they are supposed to mesh so they are all the same. So, use the data for the largest gear given: 50 tooth and 2.02" OD. The largest gear should have the smallest percentage of error in the measurement. Anyway, 52 / 2.02 = 25.74 pitch. Not likely an English measure gear. Probably metric: to convert take reciporical and multiply by 25.4 (mm/in): 25.4 / 25.74 = 0.987. Considering a small measuremt error is likely, they are most likely metric module 1 gears.

Gear pitch looks like about 26 or 27
Gear pitch looks like about 26 or 27, though I plan to use these gears only to mesh each other so it won't be a concern.
Here are my calculations. Please correct me if you see some math error here:
Gear Pitch = Number of Teeth / Pitch Diameter.
Let's estimate the tooth size first so we can approximate pitch diameter, which is approximately halfway down the teeth (see http://www.robotobjects.com/Techtips/Gear-Pitch-Explained.asp).
Let's also assume the teeth are approximately square.
Large gear diameter given = 2.02". Let's assume that's OD.
Circumference = 2.02 x Pi = 6.35"
Estimated tooth width for large gear = C / number of teeth / 2 = 6.35 / 50 / 2 = 0.0635.
Now let's estimate tooth width using given small gear dimensions and use the average.
Small gear OD = 0.44", num teeth = 10
C = 0.44 x Pi = 1.38
Estimated tooth width for small gear = C / number of teeth / 2 = 1.38 / 10 / 2 = 0.069.
Average estimated tooth width for large & small gears = (0.069 + 0.064) / 2 = 0.067
Pitch diameter (PD) is approximately OD - (2 x 1/2 tooth width) = OD - tooth width.
Large gear PD = 2.02 - 0.067 = 1.95"
Small gear PD = 0.44 - 0.067 = 0.37"
Since Gear Pitch = Number of Teeth / Pitch Diameter,
Large gear estimated pitch = 50 / 1.95 = 25.6
Small gear estimated pitch = 10 / 0.37 = 27.0, so pitch is probably 26 or 27.
