Unfortunately, this is NOT a wide cabinet amp, and NOT a 15" speaker (and also does not look like a EV speaker, but I am not certain).

I sent another message to that dealer, just to be certain.

Hi sir,
Just saw the Amp. Are you sure it's a 15" speaker, could it be a 12" looking from the back ?
Looking foreward your reply,
Hi, yes, I am very certain it's a 15" speaker!
Best

Although the 1981 Rolling Stones show was actually in Missouri not Kansas. Kansas City straddles the border of Missouri and Kansas and Kemper Area is on the Missouri side.
Shit, so it is an MK I,53 after all.
LOL Not necessarily, but since Mathijs is considerably more knowledgeable about Stones gear than I or the Mesa Boogie rep probably is I'm willing to accept the possibility it is indeed a MKI. Perhaps some additional photos or info. will surface some day and we can make a better determination.

Did the dealer change the pictures? The amp now is a wide cabinet with 8 knobs and 4 switches on the front.

Just to note -15" speakers where not 'custom' per se. Boogie's simply could be ordered with 12 or 15" speakers, 5-band EQ, 60/100 watt switch etc. 15" speakers are very popular with pedal steel players.

MKIIb Coliseums didn't have reverb in 1981 tour. You can quite clearly see back panel of those amps in LSTNT Blu-Ray, while beginning of UMT. There's just a blank space.. And it's not in the front panel neither.

Now there is this pic of a Boogie combo. I am certain this is not a MKII -Mesa Boogie's answer is not telling me anything. Yes, in 1981 MKIIB's where popular and new, but not with the Stones. They used many MKIIB's heads (the coloseum version), but I have yet to see a MKIIB combo before 1983 (when they starting to use new combo's). They had half a dozen MKI's, and they used them all while practicing and warming up back stage. No MKII's. And again, all amps ever ordered by the Stones had reverb and EQ.
I am still a bit baffled by the fact that the amp s not miced. This normally means the amp is used as a monitor, something they did in 1975 with Charlie (a Fender Twin). It could mean the combo is not used buy Taylor, but that Taylor indeed is playing one of the spare Coloseum heads, and that would than be spare for Wood.
