Don't worry about original colors, which were always gray, brown or black or a mixture, in the late 50s. Do it up how you want. You are the listener/owner.
If the drivers do not say Jensen, then look for a six digit EIA # starting with 220, the Jensen #. The number will probably be on the rear of the speaker frames.
About that extra depth baffle, could that be the way the woofers are ported ? There was a 1950s enclosure called the RJ, as well as the Lafayette Elliptoflex, that used this "port around the woofer" technique. If the tweeter was a hot/bright one, the extra wood might not be detrimental. You decide that one. You might want to upgrade the tweet, and/or chamfer the edge of the extra wood surrounding the tweet. The stock solidity of the box is a good sign. Good Luck with your renovations...
