Take this with a *huge* grain of salt because I could be completely wrong about this, but my recollection was that HH rebadged a lot of products they didn’t manufacture… they were more of a systems integrator/facilitator than a producer of goods.

Or maybe I have them mixed up with another company?

That kinda of looks like a Fane HT100 or HF100 driver, I think the HF used a phenolic diaphragm. Fairly average driver.
I would be concerned with that much external corrosion as to what maybe going on inside the driver!

HH was a fairly substantial British amplifier brand from the very late 60’s on into the 80’s that didn’t get a foothold in the US, and eventually got folded into the Laney company. All solid state, they issued guitar, bass, and PA gear that was seen in the backline of Pink Floyd, TRex, BeBop Deluxe, the Buzzcocks, and Bauhaus among many others. I found a guitar combo that somehow made it over, and I gotta say it had a great overdrive sound from Mosfet circuitry. I came across a second later model that had a Fane labeled 12” driver.
