Do you have any measurement software?
You could always try it and see how it measures.
I'd hate to cut the baffle and discover it had anomalies though. I'd prefer a restoration to original the three-way design than I would trying to make a DI-matched two-way design out of it and find it had standing wave ripples.
This isn't an indication that the original design overlooked the possibility of standing waves, by the way, When a speaker is a three-way design, the woofer doesn't run as high so the cabinet interior doesn't have midrange energies presented to it.
The sensitivity to standing waves is introduced when making a two-way speaker in a large cabinet.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that if you were OK with experimenting with the cabinet, you could try cutting the baffles. It's just I wouldn't want to ruin them if they turned out not to work well as a two-way.
