I think these are what I've been used to call push-ups, which explains how they are done - a long tally done with adjacent passive pairs (or leave a centre pair unworked for a wider tally) then push it up with a pin and continue weaving, so the workers hold it in place. The rolled tally is rolled by twisting one pair (preferably the one without the tally weaver!)round a pin, like the first half of a picot, then doing the same with the other pair, other end of same pin - probably needs a picture or video to explain, and again the workers hold it in place.
The standard advice is to make a push up one and a half times as long as you think it should be, the rolled tally needs to be twice as long, another reason why the push up is quicker. They do look different, and sometimes one looks better than the other, depends on the pattern - the main thing is not to mix them of course. Their real advantage against overlaid or any other tally or leaf is that the pushing or rolling covers a multitude of slips; a pushed upb holly leaf looks fine!
