If you're ok with an explicit redirect, try this for each folder:

location ^~ Silver/ {
   return 302 /index.php?wlmfolder=Silver&restoffolder=$uri;
}

location ^~ Gold/ {
   return 302 /index.php?wlmfolder=Gold&restoffolder=$uri;
}

location ^~ Platinum/ {
   return 302 /index.php?wlmfolder=Platinum&restoffolder=$uri;
}
