Is this the same?

Hello everyone so I finally narrowed it down to what amp/cabs I want to buy. I'm looking into an SWR Workingman 2x10c combo and then going to add a SWR Workingman 1x15 extension cab to it. I posted a pic of the 115 below however I have a concern with two 210c's I have found. My concern is with the speakers in each cabinet. The speakers in the first mentioned cab looks like many of the stock photos I have seen for the 210c but the second combo the speakers look a little different to me. The dust cones look smaller and the speakers look blue'er and smoother. Perhaps it's just the way the photo was taken however I was thinking it would be best if I matched the two cabs with the same "model" of speaker and not some random replacements if that is what is the second combo.

The 115:

210c #1 (seems stock):

210c #2 (the speakers look different to me):

Again maybe it's the photo but I would hate to get one of the 210c's to find they are not original and would not sound good with the 115.

Yeah, the speakers in the bottom 210c are definitely not original. Steer clear of that one.

Figured as much, thanks for the comment. So I take the other 210c and the 115 look right or stock and should be alright as far as the speakers go? (Not asking about the config, just the speakers originality)

See if the shop will pull the speakers in the bottom combo and get a part number for you. They look similar to eminence and may have been selected correctly for the application. If so, you may end up with better speakers than the originals..

Play through both set ups as long as you can with your bass or one similar at the shop. Your ears are the best judge over opinions here. What sounds amazing to you may not sound the same from someone who likes a different tone or brand...

The problem is both cabs I will be buying used from Guitar Center's from out of my state/area so I am not able to go to check them out in person. Which is why mostly I am asking for feedback and input. The Guitar Center in my city does not have a very massive or elaborate used section and even new as far as 210 and 115 cabs they are those of different brands and ones I cannot afford anyways. So I guess I could get the gist of how the setup could sound but it's totally different brands and cabs/speakers. I asked and the guy was reluctant to pull the speakers out over the phone unless I pretty much committed to buying.

I was waiting for someone to bring up just getting another 210. At that point I would just get a 410. I have been attracted to the 210+115 setup to try something new and I have heard a lot of good things about the setup from those who are not traditional one type of cab users.

I think I'll be buying the first mentioned (the stock) 210c and the mentioned 115 today.
