Generic wheel chips in casinos

I saw a post yesterday concerning generic chips listing on the Chip Guide. I have seen several old photos in known casinos with so called generics at the roulette table. In the link below is a shot of Jake Freedman at the Sands in 1955. The "Dotted wheel" design of those chips is a common one that every antique chip collector has. There are also a couple variations as I show here. Thing is, The chips in the casino photo are not like either of the ones I show. In the 1955 Sands photo the colored center is small, the white area is wide and the rim area is much smaller. The rim area of my small center chip is not that narrow compared to the rest of the chip. Is this a third variety I still should be looking for?
