Looks like it's been recovered and the baffle board was put back in upside down.

The cabinet started out in life as a 3x15 cab and someone cut id down to a 2x15.

Actually I counted the pleats and it appears to be 2 15's with horn cabinet and the horn removed and the baffle cut and flipped and bottom of the cabinet shortened.

Count down the T&R on a 3x15 cab and the handle is at 15. It appear the handle on the cabinet shown in the photo, the handle also at 15.

There the only other reason the handle would that low is, if they had really short people as roadies.

Your right Pleat....I miss counted. Thought it was 10 not 15. No wonder I have to redo my W-4 again. Too many late nights working on my taxes. Smile

Seems to me since I don't see any wheels on the cabinet, that it would make more sense to flip the baffle board and turn the cabinet upside down......I'm assuming the T&R is also rippled on the bottom as well. At least then the handles would be at a practical height. With an amp sitting on top, you'd not see the seam.
