Can Anyone Identify This Cab?

I got this, what appears to be, custom made cabinet in a package deal last week.

The seller honestly had no idea who made it. They said they had an extra Mesa emblem so they just attached it to the cab, it's obviously not Mesa. They said it had WGS Vet 30's in it, but when I opened it, it had 2 Vet 30's and 2 ET-65 speakers, so obviously they just didn't really know what they had.

The cab seems to be extremely well constructed, and made of Birch plywood. There is no branding anywhere on the cab, and it has some interesting internal bracing I've never seen on any other cabs.

It sounds fantastic, and is surprisingly lightweight. I'm happy with it, but just curious if anyone can identify who may have manufactured this cab by looking at the photos?

That inner bevel is very distinct, so that would rule out Marshall, Peavey, Crate, Mesa, etc. Very curious what brand that is. Looks good.
 
Yeah, looks like it's just for the bracing on the center post though, so no big deal by me.

I don't know if I love the speaker combo, but I have lots of 8 ohm speakers to play with so I;m sure I could figure something out. The cab seems very tight and overall, sounds clear and punchy. I think it's a winner
 
I've seen that carbon fiber look tolex somewhere before. Just can't remember where.
Yeah, it does look really familiar...

Is there any photo of the jackplate? Maybe some clue there unless it's just your run of the mill deal.

It does not look like Mills bracing, nor does the "surprisingly lightweight" comment.

EDIT:

That tolex looks like it could be Marshall MG tolex but the cab is clearly not a Marshall (certainly not MG).
