At least, assuming there isn't some specific voicing reason for mixing the two types - for me there isn't a lot of point in mixing a Greenback with a G12-65, they're both in the same ballpark and you won't get a lot of benefit.
If you want to mix speakers to get a bigger sound than the Greenbacks from each cab I would use G12H-30s.

I am a fan of mixing speakers too and have gone by ear. However, I have been told that following the speaker sensitivity is important for a balanced output. Think of it as a choir. Hmmm, I wonder how four different speakers would sound instead of my 2.
Other apparently mismatched combinations that work perfectly are the G12-65 and G12-80, the two different Creambacks (G12M-65 & G12H-75), and most surprisingly the V30 & G12T-75, where the more middy speaker is also louder - but the voicing difference is so big that you can still hear both speakers properly.
But you do need to try any combination to know for sure if it will work - some don’t even when you think it should... I tried a Creamback 65 with a Classic Lead 80 and it just sounded wrong, despite the 80 being roughly similar to the Creamback 75.
