The Fermi temperature is
Inserting it into the question's quoted estimate gives
As explained in (d), that count is per mole of conduction electrons. Using the stipulated six electrons per tungsten atom gives per mole of tungsten in the same rough model. The accurate free-electron Sommerfeld expansion coefficient would instead give per mole of tungsten. These are different approximations and counting conventions, not three interchangeable exact answers.
