Need ID help with this Tyche and Galley

Any ID help is appreciated. I went through Wildwinds and didn't find a match with this galley and the signs or letters. Thanks in advance.

The closest I found are these from Tyre in Phoenicia:

Not very precise, but perhaps it helps  ;).

Does anybody know a good resource for attribution of galley/Tyche coins? Especially if there is no city monogram visible?

Could it be Ashkelon?

No. There is a Tyre monogram above the galley. These coins were minted in Sidon, Tyre and Ascalon ifrom 2nd century BCE to 2nd century AD. They differ in the direction of the galley, its style, waves below, monogram, date. I wonder if there is a summary of these styles anywhere.
