My Weber Blue Dog 1x12 Speaker Impulse Responses

I captured my Vox AC15C1 amp on both Normal and Top Boost Channels with Neural Amp Modeler. The amp's output was loaded down by a Suhr Reactive Load. Input level is 11.5dBu for those who are wondering. The links above lead to the downloads of my AC15 captures and accompanying cabinet impulse responses of a Weber Blue Dog speaker.
While making snapshots of settings, I had a few album tones in mind:
00:04 The Shadows - Apache
00:48 Taste - Blister on the Moon
01:30 The Stooges - Search and Destroy
01:54 The Jam - In The City
02:16 U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name
02:59 Foo Fighters - Learn to Fly
03:18 Refused - New Noise
See video for the NAM filenames and corresponding impulse response used. The volume levels referenced should give you an idea of the relative levels of cleans or distortion.
Some things to note:
All of these artists recorded to tape, so I applied the U-he Satin plugin on most of the guitars. I programmed all drums in various Superior Drummer libraries to approximate the sounds of the studio recordings. Bass was DI'd and generally processed with Line 6 Helix Native.
The Stooges - Search and Destroy: There is some gnarly distortion in the original studio mix at the start of the solo. I had no idea how to replicate that.
The Jam - In The City: Some online content implies that this song was recorded using a Rickenbacker guitar through an AC30. I tried my best with a Tele.
U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name: I did not have a Korg SDD-3000 preamp-style boost to push the guitar signal. I boosted the signal at around 1.5k during the strumming part. I couldn't figure out how it was mixed: if it was the delay feedback being increased, or if it was console EQ making the delay stand out.
Refused - New Noise: online speculation that either a Vox AC30 or Marshall JCM800 was used. I gave my best shot with the AC15.
