Can anyone identify this speaker?

What's that monster behind Lennon, with the array of mid-tweeter units? It seems sort of, but not quite like a Bozak. Anyone recognize it?
 
Except that Volt speakers operation was founded in 1978, and that picture was taken when John was still a Beatle, so there's about a nine year gap...
 
Those "tweeters" might be a sectoral horn on top of what looks like an Altec or JBL style cabinet...

I've never seen a sectoral horn with conical sectors, or with the upper and lower rows of sectors offset. Maybe it's just an illusion, but I see circles, it looks more like a convex cone tweeter array, sort of like a Bozak but not quite:

Yeah. Hard to tell though. Probably a custom job - the LF cab looks very Altec...
