What drivers are these?

Can anyone identify these?
I'd like to pick them up, but the seller doesn't have any info on them and there are no markings.
Looks to be a fullrange driver with tweeter for the higher frequencies.
Peerless, or Philips? seems to be alnico magnet?

The 'woofer' basket looks like Utah -- or maybe Lafayette, as LRE sold either Utah OEM drivers or perhaps (later) Asian clones thereof.

Borrowed image of one Utah morph using that basket style (this one a "midrange" per the box). Note (if you can see 'em) the wide-spaced terminals on the driver.


You're really not givin' us much to go on vis-a-vis the tweeter ;)

EDIT: The tweeter might be a Lafayette branded product, too(???).
Something like the one at bottom right in the following scan(?).

... or it could be almost anything. :p

Thank you for the suggestions!
I got some more photos and info on these but still no photos of the front..
The tweeter is a 3", and the woofer is 10" with a red 16 ohm sticker

10 inch... hmm...
It just dawned on me that this woofer's basket also looks a lot like the Fukuin/Pioneer "fullrange" (dual compliance) drivers like the PIM20(A)/PIM8 -- also marketed as the Lafayette SK-98!

The one on the left is an LRE SK98.


Sorry that 1) I didn't think of it sooner and 2) that I didn't know if there's a 10" version (although it looks like there may have been):

I don't know if there was a "pure-play" woofer version, either.

I'm sorry, I really haven't been much help! :confused:

I am now thinking Pioneer (originally known as Fukuin) was probably the manufacturer of that woofer or full range driver. ;)
 
Thanks so much for your help! Would have taken me a really long time to get closer to the answer. It seems that Pioneer made the PIM-25 and also a more expensive coaxial PAX-25 driver. They look similar from the back. However, the driver I listed has 5 opening instead of 6.
