the Allison woofers appear to be replacements :-(
You also probably noticed that the grilles get wicked brittle after four-ish decades of exposure to the elements.
I am a big fan; they're mighty fine loudspeakers. Here's one of mine (not a great photo, unfortunately):
I don't have a photo of the woofers handy... but I noticed that the woofers on a Jensen-era "Advent" Legacy II loudspeaker pair I recently refoamed (and found a new home for -- imagine that?!) had a woofer that was morphologically quite similar to the Allison One's woofers.
all the best,

I am guessing they were replaced, but -- looking at the brochure scan above (from www.classicspeakerpages.net of course) I may have that wrong, too.
The original Allison Two, I thought, had a visually similar (albeit smaller) woofer to the One's -- but I don't have any Twos, so I could be wrong. They should be coated paper -- pretty sure of that.
I do know a fellow across the river (Connecticut) that does, though :-)

Your photo looks like a plain paper cone, and the dustcap looks "wrong" as well.
I have a couple of spares (not yet re-surrounded) in the basement (someplace) -- I will take front & rear photos and post anon.
all the best,

The grills are very brittle but we got the speakers at a very good deal but I want to ask you.How do tell if the woofers are replacements? I'll take a closer photo later.
