"Basically yes it is, the Classic Lead is the 75Hz guitar version
of the G12-80. At last count there were 6 versions! The G12-80 was first
issued in the late 70's with a magnet assembly with a hole through the
pole piece and this was changed to a solid pole in the late 80's early
90's. Soon after it was renamed the Classic Lead 80 at the same time
that the G12M-70 became the Modern Lead. It was just a marketing
exercise."

That's a jumble of words. I'd note that the Classic Lead has a resonance of 85Hz, not 75Hz. Maybe it was 75 when they were still made in England.

Anyway, the speaker uses an 50 oz magnet no matter how you cut it and I wouldn't expect its sound to resemble the greenback at all. My understanding was that the G12-65 is the "greenback on steroids." The only reason I don't make that my speaker of choice, since it is the classic 80s loudspeaker, is because it compresses a lot.

My inference is that the Rola Celestion G12-80 is like the Heritage version of the Classic Lead.
