Hard to say. Those are not standard chemical names.
H4 doesn't mean anything, chemically speaking.
H2 is the symbol for hydrogen gas, but clearly hydrogen was never kept in a vat, so the label must mean something else.
What you're looking at must be labels for the vats. It implies that there are/were vats H1 and H3 somewhere.
In any case "H2" and "H4" tell you nothing about the former contents of the vats.
