What would you like in trade for the Rocs?

I've searched this thread for a while trying to find the answer and I'm not seeing or I'm just not searching the right terms.
I acquired a few Champ Rocs throughout the year (mostly USDGC Rocs, one champ glow, and another random champ with an Oregon Ducks "O" stamp), but not all of them share the same tooling. The USDGC Rocs have the patent number tooling like all my KC and DX Rocs while the other couple do not have patent numbers, list the URL, and the tooling is super close to the rim. They all have "R" handwritten on the bottom like Rocs do (not R+), but I don't understand why they would have different tooling.
Anyone have info on this or any insight as to why they have different tooling? I've never held a Roc+ so I can't comment on whether or not they feel like a Roc+; honestly they don't feel different in hand to my USDGC Rocs. Would there be a way for me to tell whether they're Roc or Roc+?

Almost a year ago I posted about some MF Rocs that have the actual Roc tooling and not the Roc3 stuff. Nobody knew what to make of it. My best guess, Innova isn't as consistent about putting the right mold pieces together as we would like to believe. I've stopped worrying about what rocs are or aren't.

I wouldn't be surprised if both of these odd Rocs I have are Roc+. At one point I had a 10x KJ Nybo swirly Teebird that had Teebird+ rim/CAL tooling so, needless to say, I'm familiar with the weird inconsistencies that can come with Innova. If I get an unseasonably warm and dry day I'm going to have to take them all out and see if they differ in flight at all.
Is there any obvious differences between a Roc and Roc+?

The tooling on the bottom and the plus rim. At least that's what I've been led to believe.

Sorry, I should've been more clear. Are there obvious visual differences (other than the tooling) between a Roc and Roc+ that I could look for just to know what I have? When I get the chance I'm going to throw all of them and see what fits best for what I'm looking for, whether it be a Roc or Roc+ doesn't matter too much to me.
I looked for the slanted rim last night and the hard part is Rocs also have slanted rims. To what degree in comparison to Roc+, I have no idea. The tooling is certainly different than other Rocs I have, but it was marked as "R", not "R+". This is where my confusion started.

The Roc+ will have a noticeably slanted rim. All discs are molded with a slanted inner rim. That is so they can pull the disc out of the mold easier. The Roc+ will look like it's not even trying to have a 90 degree angle on the inside.
Good luck, I'm a Roc+ fan myself.
You beat it up a decent amount in those few weeks? And/or lighter weight? The DX Ranchos (175-180g) I've picked up the over the last year-ish have been pretty beefy to start.

Most of the dx rocs I have been getting lately feel amazing, but they are very straight out of the box.

Not really...it might have 3 rounds on it? I've never had a Roc like this one out of the box. It's 170g.

I've never even thrown a traditional Roc (always Roc3's, which I thought fit my hand better). But I recently won a 30-year Luster Roc and a G* Rancho Roc in a raffle. How would these fly compared to my Glow Champ & McGlow Roc3's?
They make G* Rancho Rocs?
