Not sure how helpful this will be but this website has links to service manuals:

Sony TC-500 - Manual - Reel to Reel Tape Recorder - HiFi Engine

You do need to complete a free registration to get to the manuals.

Unlikely because they are pre Thiele Small era, but worst case you can measure them yourself.

Or plain use them in a largish (for their size) stuffed cabinet.

Doubt they are good performers in a tuned cabinet anyway, they were used as "better than nothing" monitor speakers in an old style tape recorder, not Hi Fi stuff intended.

if P10 has a pair i don't doubt he has investigated their use as "widebanders"

If the speakers in question are as i pictured, they are really quite good, but many of these did not age nicely. Quite a few of the ones i had have surrounds that have stiffened up and that makes them midTweeters, as the bass resonance goes way up.

A safe enclosure for a good pair is Frugel-Horn Mk3.

Hmm, there's an old Sony RTR somewhere around here that looks a lot like that one. Maybe it's time to open it up and have a look...

Whether your driver will work in a smaller box depends soley on how well they have aged.

I found this while looking for something else and thought it might help in your search for info:

Glow in the Dark Audio - Coral "Holey Basket" fe103a full range driver

It’s more of a review but it does show the drivers transplanted into a Telefunken cabinet and the gentleman seems quite knowledgeable regarding vintage gear. Perhaps you could contact him and see if he has access to specs.
