Anybody recognize these drivers?

Opening up a pair of 12" 3 ways I found these.
The tweeter would appear to be parts is parts but the midrange is odd.
The cabinet also used Utah Celesta 12" 2 ways...a beautiful speaker if nothing else!

The tweeter appears to be the EV T-35, a driver of value and the same one used in many old Cornwalls.

The midrange bears a strong resemblence to a widerange mid-tweeter Radio Shack used to sell years back, I used a pair and they weren't bad. But I'm not sure if it's the same.

The mids look like Peerless units that were used in a lot of quality speakers back in the mid to late 1970's. They are a fine sounding midrange but the foam surrounds tend to disintegrate like all foam surrounds do eventually. The tweeters and mids are definitely higher quality than the Utah celesta drivers which were mid-fi at best.
 
The tweeters do check out to be T35's.
Can't find anything on Peerless that matches the description
The Celestas are what they are - but run with the others it all worked well and the bass was respectable.
These were all together in some fairly crappy cabinets that sounded really good. Now I know why :~)

what does the crossover look like? If they sound really good find some good cabs and some woofer that will work in them well and get to work. :D
 
Crossovers are open air coils and caps with 2 pots each.
They were glued into the cabinets so right now they're not very attractive :-)
Ok - well - thanks for the help guys!
Now I know what I have and a direction to take!
