I admit it: I'm really addicted to Marshall cabinets. I'd want to buy every possible Marshall cabinet there is. But I'm glad there's a much cheaper way to own and try them. And the best thing is you can find many ready in Axe FX III factory IR's!
I'm currently listing every different Marshall cabinet impulse I can find, make presets out of them and order them by the year the speakers were made. It's interesting to hear how they've evolved over the years and if there's really a noticeable difference between old vintage and newer speakers. Or even IR producers.
Feel free to point to any Marshall impulses missing from the list below. Or let me know if I have the years wrong. Some are based on assumptions.
Here's the format (works great with FC-6/FC-12):
SPEAKER_MODEL YEAR ADDITIONAL_INFO (CREATOR) IMPULSE_NAME

AB = Austin Buddy (https://shop.fractalaudio.com/cab-packs/austinbuddy/)

OH = Ownhammer (https://www.ownhammer.com/store/)
V = Valhalla.ir (https://valhallir.at/en/)
Just copy the list below, choose what cabs you want to include, paste it to Axe-Edit (Axe-Manage presets), put the IR's in and make yourself a Marshall cabinet museum! At first choose SM57 mics only to get balanced impulses for better comparison. I assigned a button to scroll between Amp 1 channels A-D to switch between various Marshall amp models. Be sure to make the Amp 1 global so the changes you make affect all these presets.
