You indicated that the OPS tag and emblem are probably circa 1950-1953, the tag and emblem on my hat are almost identical. Also, the price of your Royal Deluxe at $12.50 and my Royal at $10 is leading me to believe my Stetson would also be from 1950-1953.
Here are a few more photos of the various tags inside my sweat-band:
If you or anyone could help me learn and identify the age of these tags I would sure appreciate it. I'm attempting to date the hat to find out whether a particular person might have owned it or not.

Thanks.
I think that particular size tag design can be tricky - I only know mine's 50-53 because of the OPS part surrounding it. Hopefully someone else can give you a better answer.
