TAC WR Help, Please...

I purchased three TAC, Galveston, TX chips today at a local coin show and I have two that I need some help with a correct Chip Guide listing. The guide has a white with blue hot stamp in the center and grey inserts around the rim. There is no image just the below number and description.
It's CG047143
Denom: $0
Color: White
Inserts: 4gry
Mold: T mold
Inlay: HS Blue

Here' the one I found.

The inserts are green not grey but all the other description matches. Is this a different chip from the one listed in the guide? It has a rope-like typeface on the hot stamp. The WR (Western Room) was one of three level gambling rooms. Others SL (Studio Lounge) and the third on Balinese Room).
Here's a SL TAC chip:

I purchased these three chips for $3 each -- and they are in pretty good shape. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I found a Western Room $1 that's listed in the guide as:
CG047140
Denom: $1
Color: White
Mold: Hub
Inlay: HS Gold

My question, that chip is listed under the heading Western Room. However, there is not much other information. Could it be an earlier TAC (Texas Athletic Club) chip from Galveston that has the TAC hot stamp with WR (Western Room) above the price?
