Possibly their own. After all, where is it written in the clouds that all 
Buddhists have to belong to a given school? Surely, if the Mahatmas are at the 
level they claimed to be, they would be able to make up their own minds and 
not be bound by the interpretations of others.

And here is another possibility to consider. They were, after all, writing 
to an eccentric Victorian Englishman. They could have simply said they were 
Buddhists to give him some frame of reference to an existing belief structure to 
make things easier for him to understand what they were talking about.
