Are your custom profiles RGB profiles? ColorSync won't list CMYK profiles for
an RGB device, for good reason. If this is not the issue, then do your
profiles show the proper custom Icon if you copy them to the desktop? If they
do not, then they may have lost their device type and creator info in web
transit (not uncommon); you need to get a copy of the shareware FileTyper, or
some similar utility, and use it to set the device type to "prof" and the
creator to "sync", so the OS will know what type of files these are.
