No, It's not Luan plywood, it's one of the mahogany look a likes, sapele. or possibly quartersawn makore. G.E listed what sort of veneers they used in their advertising and I think that they liked to use one of those veneers, particularly of the ribbon striped variety, on their cabinets in the 1938 and 39 model years.

That Makore looks like a possibility.
