Some Protestant bibles will refer to them as Apocrypha, others omit them
entirely. Part is political. For example Maccabees II refers to prayers
for the dead which many Protestant denominations reject.  Leave out what
you don't like.

Luther's first translation left out James, which he referred to as 'that
epistle of straw'. The worth of faith without works went against his 'sola
fides' doctrine.

Similarly the 10 Commandments are parsed differently. Protestants wanted
to come down heavy on the 'no graven images' since they did not appreciate
religious art.
