Hi I am new to the forum. Can someone tell me what I have here? Have not opened them up yet. Cabs in terrible shape but sound beautiful.

the two diffewrent labels are both signed by the same person so obviously there was simply a change from one style of label to the next and you got one of each on your pair that's all. no mystery.

Anyone know why there are two different looking tags on the back?

Most likely because of one of two reasons:

1.  One was built much earlier to be a part of a mono system, OR a supplemental speaker to one or a pair of K-horns, and the other was added later to make a stereo pair.  This will likely be the case if one has a different ALPHABETICAL digit in the serial numbers with a difference of two years (letters) or more . 

2.  There was a change-over to the labels being used and they ran out of the old style after  labeling one, and put one of the new style labels on the second one.  This will be the case if they were consecutively-serial-numbered cabinets....or at least within a few numbers of being consecutively-numbered.  The letter in the serial number (also stamped into the rear edge of the cabinet top) determines the year of manufacture for your particular Cornwalls.

Just another example that true BEAUTY comes from the INSIDE, NOT THE OUTSIDE!

Truth.
