Thanks @srinisundar They could also be RCA and the teardrop patch on the sides might be a sign of them. I have also raised this question on fb forum and have received varying opinions.Current Drivers are RCA and the horns are similar to 804B Altec and may be magnavox used with western electric driver

They are not Altec. The best person on the planet to ask is John Kalinowski on FB. Search him on FB, join his FB page and shoot a question there. You will have definitive answer with all history.
Oh..he has already commented a few times on my post. Didn't know he was an expert. He seems to think it could be an Indian build or a British manufacture because of it being in India.
It’s definitely not Altec and if he doesn’t recognize it then it has an Indian history.
Yes Its bigger than altecs. I bought the horn flare from a dealer who probably pulled it out of a cinema hall and the driver was bought separately from a friend and vintage gear afficianado. The paint overstay and all. Beautiful horns these and very inert and am loving the sound.
These RCA/Victor compression drivers roll off early (8000hz) and have a phenolic diaphragm instead of aluminium. The sound to my ears is relaxed and fluid and full bodied with no hint of glare as opposed to the beymas I was using earlier (they are now doing the tweeter duty, i am using 2 compression drivers simultaneously) which were a tad bit sharper.
