The dark one is OWB, and the pale one is IWB for a 1½" belt.
Any ideas?

Certainly the tan one is machine stitched (and likely the other) and its style and 1950s era match Chic Gaylord's.
Suggestion: have a look (or give us a pic) of the inside of the female snap. When the setting of the crimp is clean, it's pro; when it's obviously crude, it's amateur.
The interior shot of the snap socket will also tell us the type of snap; so the 'dot' style is roughly postwar and the 'glove' type is roughly prior (never been able to nail this down tho).
That said, an amateur CAN do a great job, but only if it's important enough to them to get a relatively expensive (ranges up to super expensive) hand or foot operated tool/machine to do it with.
