Let $\Gamma$ be either the infinite cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}$ or the Baumslag-Solitar group $\mathbb{Z} \ltimes \mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{2}]$. Let $K$ be a slice knot admitting a slice disc $D$ in the 4-ball whose exterior has fundamental group $\Gamma$. We classify the $\Gamma$-homotopy ribbon slice discs for $K$ up to topological ambient isotopy rel. boundary using surgery theory. In the infinite cyclic case, there is a unique equivalence class of such slice discs. When $\Gamma$ is the Baumslag-Solitar group, there is at most one $\Gamma$-homotopy ribbon slice disc for each lagrangian of the Blanchfield pairing of $K$.
