Looks more like a C-38 Barron proportion wise, horizontal vs. vertical cabinet layout. The front face edges are different though. Most are flat, not stepped, like two frames, like the pictured example. Drivers look correct through the grill fabric, but it would be prudent to pull the grills to confirm.
Nice looking speaker. Any pics of the other speaker?
 
Another discrepancy is the crossover terminal plate is not correct. I was checking pics and this one is totally different.
This may have been assembled from parts. Do some research before diving in. They may sound great, but ask questions.
 
I agree with GD, they are nice looking but something is not right. The crossover plate is off center, and looks slanted to me. There are many people as of lately that are trying to re-create this line of JBL with legs off ebay, grill cloth, parts and putting it all together. I would say if you can get inside of the cabinet and check around for some markings inside it could help. It would also be nice to see how it's laid out inside, that would also help to confirm the authenticity.
 
Appears to be a D130 and an 075 with the crossover pinched from some other JBL system. It should be an N2400 or similar. The cabinet is quite obviously home-built and not a JBL C36 or C38. For value, it's the value of the drivers and, until more is known, the crossover is assumed to be incorrect for that pairing of drivers.

They are home made, and don't have the right crossover for the drivers, it should be a N2500.
Now this doesn't mean they don't sound good or being sold at a supper deal, and or with few 100 more be turned into a better speaker. If they are asking 1000s for these walk away
