So if I'm reading this correctly, you're MR Gold through stays (50 nights with Marriott). If that's the case, you'll be Plat on 1 Aug. If you're MR Gold through the SPG Gold to MR Gold match, you will stay Gold on 1 Aug.
The charts only apply to how you earned your original status, not match between the two programs.
