What are those amps behind GFR, in this rather cool video?

Thanks!

Some background info on designer Dave West......

https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/gra ... west-dies/

I remember seeing GFR at Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis in '71 -- after Mark Farner blew up his backup West rig (the primary amp died in the middle of their first song) roadies brought out two Fender Dual Showman's and a Twin Reverb. It sounded much better than Farner's hallmark West Fillmore and the show was completed without further incident.
