Are the ones I've seen, and there was also, I think, one with a single tweeter on a bridge.

Yes, my reference is to EMI version with a single 3" tweeter on a "bridge" support across the 8" side of the 13" x 8" main unit. So why would the manufacturer of the cabinets leave the supports on when they are uneccessary and liable to add "ringing" to the cabinet resonances?
