Hard to say without seeing where second is wired into the circuit. A guess is that someone added a second volume at the input to the 1st audio amp so they could run the gain of the RF stages higher.

I was thinking of using a wood epoxy of some sort if such a thing exists and filling in the missing wood chunks and then putting the speaker back in the way it was originally.

Wood glue or epoxy mixed with sawdust pressed into the voids. When it hardens sand flush and re-drill the holes.
