I purchased these curious drivers from a british gentleman who said he acquired them while working for Beyerdynamic in the early 90's. He said he believed them to be DT-9xx series, though he was unsure which version. They were sealed in bags made of bubble-wrap when they arrived.
The baffles are the same diameter as DT-770/880/990 baffles, but the outer edge of the baffle has a lip about 8mm tall vs. the flat edge of the 770/880/990, and it lacks the 'tooth' that ensures that those drivers are always oriented the same way.
They also lack the perforated aluminum dome that usually covers a beyerdynamic driver (even the ancient 1980's version DT-880 Studio), and the back of the driver has no damping or even screening of any kind.
Also note the more open frame of the back of the driver vs. the other beyer drivers pictured in this thread.
The retention method for the driver is also different. The driver has a 'tooth' on it's outer edge that drops through a slot in the baffle and is rotated, and then the slot is filled with glue.
Aside from that, the geometry of the magnet and the shape of the diaphragm appear to be the same as the other beyers, right down to the mottled surface of the diaphragm.
Specs:
DC resistance: ~225 ohms
Inductance: 1.35 millihenries
Nominal Impedance: Probably 250 ohms
Everything else: No blasted idea.
Does anybody have a DT-911 or DT-931 they can take some pictures of?
I acqurired these cheaply, so even as a curiosity, I'm happy with them. I will likely retrofit them into Frankenphone II: Electric Boogaloo.
Edit: Found a picture of a DT-931 driver here:

Very close!
