I think the ppc212 is really close to the Jim Root, if not the same just w/o black tolex… someone will be along to correct me derisively if Im wrong though.
EDIT: Correcting myself derisively:

JIM ROOT PPC212
The #4 Jim Root Signature PPC212 shares the same dimensions as the PPC212OB, but its closed-back construction and 12″ Voice of the World speakers give this cab a very different character. The low end response is quicker and more focussed making it an excellent pairing for modern styles. Whilst the Jim Root signature cabinet has less internal volume than our larger PPC212, the overall sound of the #4 Signature cab is well balanced with a slightly more pronounced upper midrange. Made from 18mm birch ply, the Jim Root PPC212 is finished in black vinyl with a specially developed black version of the Orange basketweave grille cloth with Jim’s signature ‘#4’ plate on the front. Whilst this cab is a great match for a number of Orange heads, it really shines when paired with Jim Root Terror.
The biggest difference would be the Voice of the World speakers, which are similar to V30s but have their own character.
However, the endorsement aside, it would appear that on stage, Jim Root uses regular PPC4x12 cabinets. They are fitted with V30s, according to one source I checked.
