ATTN: Speaker Aficionados - Help ID These speakers

I got these speakers in a bundle deal along with a Scott 382-C Receiver. They look pretty lame and generic - especially from the back, but they were heavy so I decided to give 'em a whirl. Surprisingly they sounded damn good, so I took off the rear panel to check out the speakers. All Jensens. Woofer is a C12-RL, Mid is 8J10, and the Horns are RP107.

Unfortunately, there are NO labels, badges, markings, or any hint of a manufacturer anywhere on the cabinets. From the speaker date codes they were born in '69-'70, about the same time the Scott receiver was made. There is a small label on the bottom left of one (see pics) but 3/4 of it is gone, and only a few letters are visible.

My question - Are these made by Scott? I'm leaning towards yes, but I really have no idea. I've got tons of pictures, so if you need to see another angle let me know. Also- any further info on the individual speakers would be greatly appreciated. Pictures coming soon.

First pic is the Jensen Special Design sticker - Each speaker has one

Second is the woofer code

Third is the woofer date code

Fourth is midrange code/date

Fifth is tweeter/horn codes.

Once again....ANY info is appreciated. Thanks

At first I was wondering if they were a Fender cab but looking at that shred of a label on the back I dunno.

Those look like some Jensen 12" 3-ways I have seen here and there.

I can't really say they have any special appeal to me, but others might like them.

The label fragment seems to have OCAA, OCAR or OCRA in the first line, and APO(N?) in the second line. Anyone think of any brands with those letters?

There were a lot of small regional brands around that time that used heavy veneered particle board cabinets, mid-fi drivers, and often very little for crossovers.

What do they have for crossovers, BTW?

Any guesses at a model number?

Another example of an unmarked speaker with Jensen components. I picked these up at a garage sale for $20. The pair have the same speakers with the same date codes. Jensen (woofer) C12RL - 220746 / (mid) 8J10 - 220746 / (horn) RP107 / 220745. I'll assume these are from 1967. I can't find specs or references to the RP107 horn. They sound pretty good and the horn certainly sounds different than a dome tweeter. Perhaps Jensen built these for low end makers? There is no crossover, only two caps which are 2uf and 10uf.
