It looks to me to be a regular old JCM 800 1960 cab from the 80's. Alot of those 80's black grill cloths faded to a brownish color over time.

Here's one on EBAY

Re: marshall cab

The size of the logo indicates JCM800 era, if it's the original logo. Vintage cabs from the 60's and early 70's had small logos.
 
Re: marshall cab

hmm.. is there any chance i could just buy regular 1960AV cab and "brown" the grille? what's the best way to do that ?
I'm really considering to buy one of my friend's Mesa Single Rectifier series 1, i think it would look just sexy on top of that marshall.. hehe..
