I didn't have the measurements to the 49-506 box but I made my box like it and fitted the grill to it.  It fits like a glove.
More work to do:
1. Reproduction knobs on order.   Also need to enlarge the volume and tuning knob holes -- that's waiting for the knobs.
2. Homemade dial pointer (not yet installed)
3. Need to make a lens for the dial.
4. Clean up the trim work and put finish on it.
5. Very minor sanding on the 3D printed grill.  It turned out really well.
6. Put mounting holes at the bottom and make a 49-506 style base.
