anybody recognize these? I’m 99% sure these are probably like any other plastic LV chips, but these some a little different...almost bud jones-ish.

Yeah trying to hard be BJ'ish. Not awful & I've seen much worse but I'd bet it's some cheaper Chinese slugger. Have you pulled back the label?

There’re not in my possession. I was considering picking them up.
The original "Las Vegas Pro 9g" chips were pretty nice for what they were, and for what they cost (about 15c each when introduced). The were my first step up from non-denominated metal-sligged dice/crown chips, and served me well until I discovered ChipTalk and fell down the rabbit hole.
The artwork is a little cheesy, but it's on glossy laminated labels that hold up well. The labels are easily removed, leaving a recess (large injection mark on one side) that is adequate for an aftermarket custom laminated label if desired.
I still have over 3,000 of them, initially planning to relabel -- but can't justify the cost (labels would cost twice as much ccurred as each chip, and for 45c/chip, there are better options available such a china clays and low-end ceramics).
They are injection-molded with no metal insert, and the original material was sort of chalky compared to most plastics.....what I consider to be a precursor to the china clays introduced a couple of years later. They have a pretty decent sound and feel, and not too slick. All spots on the originals were spaced 8d18, and all chips were 2-color (most had white spots).
The BJ style spots came later, and those chips are a bit different material, although nothing like the hard sharp-edged 9g chips produced today. They also produced a giant-label version, which were much slicker due to less chip-to-chip contact area.
