Hi Rob, from your last picture it looks as though the tag has cleaned up ok, my own approach would be to trim any component and wire connections so that there is about .2" of bare leads/wires showing, check that they have all been tinned, push them through the tag so they protrude through the other side by about .1" then bend them over at 90 degrees, a small dab of solder on the iron, apply the iron to the side of the tag that the wires have been bent over and feed in the solder 'till you have a flowed joint then keeping the iron in the same place quickly feed a bit of solder from the other side of the tag. The trick is not to apply to much solder, iron hot and be as quick and precise as you can. Check that no solder or wires have bridged to an adjacent tag, try and keep component bodies from chassis contact.
Hope this is of some use.
(Edit) Check when finished for any loose solder blobs floating around (they always find HT!) and that no solder on the tag has run down to the chassis ( sometimes this can happen if you feed in too much solder)
