Similar EV and Altec xovers in a can that I've opened had a metal cover on the bottom that has a flange or apron all around it that holds the cover into the can. They were press fit into the bottom of the can and I used a thin blade screwdriver to pry the cover out.
Try working around all four sides to see if you can pry the cover out kind of evenly. Too much prying on one side can bend the edge of the can.
The Altec xover had some hard black stuff covering the components and I used an Exacto Knife and needle nose pliers to pick away at it. The hard goop was just a covering over the components and didn't fill the can.
The EV xovers I opened were from 1978 and the only black goop in those was holding the coils in place to the top of the can but you have a pot mounted up there so that may not be the case in what you have.
