Is a cornwall woofer a dog from the most south westerly county of england ?

They do look different. Can you get inside and see the backside of the woofer? Others may differ but as long as they're "K-33's" (E,Q,W or some other part of the alphabet) wouldn't matter as much to me as long as they're 33's.
I wonder if the one with the Klipsch logo on the front might have come from their pro line?
Either way, you can take them back to the correct driver if there's anything wrong with them.
On the back, is there a sticker tag with a serial number? That will have the encoded manufacturer date in it. If not, there might be a serial number stamped on the back edge of the speaker (on the 3/4" wide part would be my guess)
Once that number is known, the date is easy.

I have same issue with a 1978 Cornwall redo I'm working on now. Round magnet in one and square in the other both show K-33, one has small dust cap with vent and screen on front and other has big dust cap no vent. I think part of it could be a blown or damaged woofer was replaced or Klipsch just threw in what it had on the table at that time. These things were walnut veneer that had been painted black and had chicken wire (yes chickenwire) over the woofer opening inside with metal screw in handles and bolts in top (I'm thinking bar/nighclub use). I'm reveneering in cherry veneer.
