Basically, the ones sold on TheZeb, should not be called HD-62EF, but rather the EF-61. People seem to think that they are the same as the HD-62, but there is in fact a substantial difference between the two.
HD-62 - EF-61
180 watt RMS - 120 watt RMS
1" tweeter - 3/4" tweeter
560 crossover with screw type connectors - 456a crossover with some funky connectors.
Most likely a different magnet in the midrange driver, etc.
The only thing they seem to share with the real HD-62 components seem to be the cast (not stamped) frame and carbon treated paper cones, everything else is rather substantially different. In fact, save for the cast frames, these seem more similar to the CL-61 component system rather than to the HD series.
I just thought I'd warn some people before they buy them thinking that they come with the 560 crossovers and the 1" tweeters. For $200 it would be a hell of a steal, alas what seems to good to be true, usually is.
