Any idea what those heads are between Michael Shrieve and Doug Rauch?

Looks like Earth or one of its related brands or Peavey. Both would be s/s copies of each other.

The one on top of the Peavey cab is definitely a Peavey, probably Musician. The one mostly hidden by cymbals; could they be early Gallien-Kruegers?

I would go with Peavey on the one, the other I don't know.

It seems they are indeed Peavey's, only without the logos.

The Musician amps had the logo on the right:
