Looking for help of authenticating Rogers LS3/5a

Hello! I'm looking for help on an expert - to identify Rogers LS3/5a, which looks kinds unusual to me. Will be appreciated for any help and opinion!

Not sure about those. Cabs look to new and they are missing velcro all around the inside of the cabinet.
Far from an expert here but the real pair of Rogers I had looked like this. You need to open them up and look at the crossover network and see the backs of the drivers etc.

The fact that it's missing the velcro is one of the things, what's making me feel unsure about this pair, but there are also a few more.
Can't open the speakers unfortunately, as they're the one what I was just considering to buy.

I would not pay what the real Rogers go for. If I could not open them up I would consider them copies made in Asia. Might still be a nice sounding speaker but not the real thing IMHO.

Glad you asked and posted pictures for the community.

I understand that the crossovers in the LS3-5A are quite complex. Maybe a look inside the box might reveal something.
