I don't know much about actual designs and schematics - others can coment on that.

I think that the first diod clipping Marshall was the JCM 800 2205/2210. Those were also the first channel switching Marshalls I believe.

JCM 800 series: Models - 1959, 1986, 1987, 1992, 2203, 2204, 2205 & 2210

I don't think a plexi would sound like Slash unless you use some type of drive/distortion pedal.

My 1987 sounds WAY different than my Vintage Modern which is what Slash uses.
