CORRECT Advent 5012 fiberglass stuffing mystery finally SOLVED

I just bought a virgin pair of Advent 5012 speakers in walnut veneer.
Other than an incorrect refoam they have never been tinkered with internally.

The fiberglass inside consists of rolled pieces. I confirmed it's rolled prior to removal.
The piece on the bottom is 37" long, 12" wide and about 2.5" thick. It varied a bit depending on where it was measured.

The top has TWO, 3" pieces measuring 37" long and 12" wide, one on the other, then rolled up and installed prior to the tweeter being installed and wired.

The tweeter wires hold the insulation up behind the tweeter-crossover area as seen in the photo below.

For those restoring a pair of 5002 or 5012 speakers, this info will help get them back to "as delivered" condition.

Mods-
Should this info be part of the “Advent” speaker thread?
(Which is closed for additional info, hence why I am asking)

Thanks.
