... The other book he's describing MAY be Rosco's first venture into polyester that was known as Roscolar. In Color Science for Lighting the Stage, they list those colors. They are basically the same names and order as Roscogel and Roscolene using a "9" prefix.

From http://www.rosco.com/spectrum/index.php/tag/roscolar/ :

Colortran had introduced a polyester-based medium, “Gelatran” in the late 60’s, so in 1970 Rosco launched “Roscolar,” a range of filters made of coated Mylar polyester base similar to Lee Filters. It filled the void while the next generation was being developed. In January of 1976 Rosco introduced “Roscolux,” a body-colored polycarbonate color filter.
