Homebrew, likely re-purposed cabinets, not Aztec.

Aztec cabinets had a wide nose on the front edges of the cabinet, and i don't know of any Aztec model that large in proportion to the 15 inch woofer.

Tweeters obviously Philips, mids look like they could be Philips AD3500. Scratch that, i'm assuming the OP is measuring the baffle opening at 6 inches.

Would be a really nice driver load if the 15 inch woofers turned out to be Philips as well.

Homebrew.

Because the holes look like they were chewed out by a misaligned jigsaw using the wrong blade...

But aside from the port hole, it's pretty inconsequential. They might sound great.
 
Yeah probably is an Aztec themed homebrew. Funny tho, I have seen equal workmanship from some of the smaller “hey I’m here too” speaker makers from the 1970’s (during the home stereo boom).

This is absolutely true, I had an early pair of Gauguin III with triangular ports, and simple series caps on the horns for a network. There were pencil marks on both sides of the baffle where they laid things out a few times before actually cutting the baffle.
 
The Philips drivers were widely (and for many years) sold for DIY use, including "kits" including all drivers & XOs, just add cabinetry.
