Scotch Plaid is what that particular wrap is called... and it comes up every once and a while. It was kind of a limited run wrap that Rogers did back in '58. According to Rob Cook's research, this wrap was made specifically by Rogers for a school band called Carnegie Tech. It seems that the schools band was outfitted in a Scottish manner, so Rogers was requested to make a plaid type finish for the drum section. The result is the Scotch Plaid that you have on your two drums. I believe the finish was only available for a couple of years, thus, it is kind of rare... but amazingly, not that highly sought after.
You should have Bread & Butter lugs on those drums, yes? Some pics would be nice if possible too! It would be easier to get a bead on what shape/condition your drums are in as well.
