The TW is the Tulip Waveguide version. The Westminster TW was a lower cost version of the Westminster that used a ferrite magnet with Tulip Waveguide, instead of the more expensive (and better sounding) Alnico magnet with 'Pepper Pot Wave Guide', and had a smaller cabinet volume than the Westminster Royal.
The Versions made are:
Westminster (1982)
Westminster R (1988)
Westminster Royal (1989)
Westminster TW (1992-1998 produced in parallel with the Westminster Royal)
Westminster Royal HE (1999)
Westminster Royal SE (2007)
Westminster Royal GR (2013)
