I found on tmcelectronics.com another B&C 8PE21 clone. They do not mention of it has the copper core. It looks the same as the one from audio pipe.
Seller part number:MB-8PE2
$49.99!
Yowza, that's a good price.
Ebay. There might not be any out there for the same price now. Here's a pair for $45 each: Pair B52 COMP-4-CLS Celestion CDX1-1746 Screw-On Horn HF Compression Driver 739894548755 | eBay
And I have not measured the Audiopipes. Can see about doing that soon.
Thks for the info. I saw a similar link on ebay and but i was concerned they might be counterfits. They price for the pair is good.
Looking forward your measurements on the audio pipe. I want to build a two way cd waveguide and due to recent back problems, the weigth of the drivers has became a major spec on the design. The audio pipe seem light.

They are about as light and small as I've ever seen a CD. If they do match the 2414h, those measurements are here: 2414h which don't look great to me.
If I was in the same position though I'd probably be looking at the 2408h-2. Not much bigger, available name brand for around $60 each and known to measure well on commonly available waveguides. JBL 5020337X 2408H-2 HF Driver For AC195, AC266, AC299 | Full Compass Systems for one example source.

In case it helps, COMP-4CLB is back up for $40:
Replacement 1" Compression Bolt-On Driver B-52 COMP-4CLB 8Ω | eBay.
The CLB may be the one you want, not the CLS - as far as I can tell those correspond to (B)olt on and (S)crew on.

Also, the b52 guides are a clone of the qsc lens used in the econowave. The celestion 1745 is a clone / functional equivalent ( or close enough search econowave dsp) of the b&c de250, to the point that you might be able to use Zilch Econowave deluxe hf xover with little or no modification.

The first two B-52 COMP4-CLBs I got actually have a sticker on the side that said "Celestion CDX1-1745". The cheapest ones up on ebay right now from zxpc don't have any labeling, either as B-52 or Celestion parts - no stickers at all. I bought one anyway for a center channel. Maybe I can get some time soon to measure it and see if it stacks up.
I don't know where to get parts for the Scanspeak. A good place to get parts and clones is Aliexpress, but I have not seen many scanspeak clones. This is the last store I found while looking for clones of the JBL 2408h-2. I have requested pic of the diaphragm to no avail. One good thing of this clone is that the diaphragm is replaceable, not like the original jbl driver
JBL 2408h-2.
