Define "old style".
It's not an original Roc (small diameter) but it looks like a real early version of the Roc most people throw today (larger diameter).
When the first larger diameter rocs came out they had the wing stamp, then they went to this stamp for maybe the second run? Not sure how it went down but that's how I remember and I was throwing Rocs before the large diameter Rocs were made.

I'm talking about your second picture.

They don't put letters on Aero discs.
I don't know exactly why.

This is a right-facing Roc. They were from around '01 to '03 or '04.

The Rancho Roc came out in '97, so this disc is from somewhere between there and when they went to the right-facing Roc stamp in '01-ish.

The Aero was discontinued in the late 80's because the mold warped and the discs came out deformed. In 1996 they re-created the Aero mold and reintroduced it as the "Classic" Aero. Both of the Aero's you posted would be from between '96 and when they went to the new stamps in '00 or '01 or '02 (I'm not exactly sure when that happened.)
