    Is it my computer or does the third pic enlarged look as if one of the joints is split?
    They look just like the pair I have. With throats rougher than Louis Armstrong's.

    It does look like the top part of the center fin on that horn is offset, maybe having absorbed an impact. The top and bottom dividers are not joined by welds, but rather there is a gap that is filled with aqauplas.

    I enlarged & sharpened one of the photos. They are welded, not completely, open in the rear of the dividers. IRC, most were done the same way. Quality of the photo from the bay is far from teriffic.

    The extra holes won't add to their value, and turn me off a good bit. Apparently grampa needed something to test out the new Black & Decker on.
