Sounds like the newer ones...

I think the original series have the "T" badge...

Wayne, if [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]THESE[/COLOR] are the drums, then they are 100% poplar...

Not those,but if you look under badges for Tama on this site you will see the gold badge beside the black/silver one.They are definately vintage Tama.

Would the mahogany have the speckled paint over it with the Imp Stars?

Yeah I believe Imperialstars were mahogany under the zola coat stuff. Superstars were birch. I love old Imperialstars. I loved them ever since I knew Stewart Copeland used them back in the 80's.
