Polk Audio Monitor 7's?

I believe these are Polk Monitor 7's but the seller doesn't have that info in the description.

1. Can anybody tell me what tweeters these are and how they compare to the Peerless?
2. Can I replace these with a Peerless tweeter?
Thanks in advance

    Look like 5B's with adhock PR's.
    They'll require the RD0's or Wuhan silk dome swap.

    Must've been kept in some super-humid conditions. I used my 10s as garage speakers for a number of years after I got my 15s, but the hardware never rusted like that. Hopefully, you can hear them before you buy.

    xschop, thanks for the info. What is a PR? I have a pair of 5's, and mine look different as the woofer and driver touch/slightly overlap. That's why I thought they might be 7's.

    Those do not look like original passive radiators(PR). The peerless has a different tweeter cut out than the SL2000 that would inhibit the peerless use.
    The 5 used 8" pr, the 7 used a 10"pr.

    Some of the screws did rust like that even here in the midwest humidity.

    Agree! Though I would take them if they were free.

    The tweeter upgrade (rdo194) adds $100 cost but I would be more worried about the moisture that caused the rust. That wasn’t good for the rest of the speaker either.
