Meh, tags are designed to give people synergy with certain toons. Withholding a tag prevents toons from becoming too powerful. So by keeping OR off Visas you prevent giving Revan 2 toons that can resurrect (you think Jolee’s bad now!). But as to OP’s question, those toons were not a part of the Old Republic. Badstila could arguably be considered a part of it, since you could recruit her to help you kill sith depending on how you played the game.
