I just realized that I was using your versions of the Silver, Gold, and
Platinum Generals in one of my chess variants, as part of three pieces. 
These are the Silver, Gold, and Platinum Calculators.  They are
combinations of my Scientific Calculator and the original (single-step)
versions of these pieces, so this means that your versions of these pieces
would be S2, G2, and P2 in my version of Ralph Betza's funny notation.
(Note that he uses the letter 'G' for a piece that jumps 3 squares
diagonally, but this is too 'big' for the 8x8 board, so I decided to
use
it for the original (single-step) version the Gold General, which is more
suitable for the 8x8 board.)
