Is this a replacement woofer? Dynaco A25?

Can anyone tell me if this looks like a replacement woofer in this Dynaco A25? I've looked at pics and am not convinced either way. Thanks!

Looks like a replacement. Originals had rubber surrounds and six screws holding them in place.

That's a nice size chunk of baffle missing by the lower left screw.

That's what I thought. Originals were SEAS, no? That chunk of baffle missing also leads me to believe that the originals were removed, possibly by a crowbar, and cheap replacements installed.
 
The A25 was available at different times with different driver loads. The Seas woofer/tweeter is shown above in kwayde's picture, ears on the woofer for mounting

The Scan-speak woofer did not have ears but a larger basket so it mounted like most speakers. They did not have the gaskets covering the outer edge of the surround. Suspect that is a replacement but you should look at what it is and evaluate a refoam vs. replacement to make the speaker right. Maybe it is a driver that was with the speaker when new.

Before I posted above I looked for other drivers for the A25 but found nothing. Then I saw your post about the Scan Speak driver and found a set of Dynaco A25 XL speakers for sale. Is this the Scan Speak woofer in the XL's?
