Ron- Just a couple ideas, not knowing the size you are dealing with:

From Radio Daze:
P/N GRC66, which is for an RCA 100B Speaker, and has similar sunburst pattern(8" dia)

or

P/N GRC58, for an RCA 103, and is quite different being a print of flowers in vase.(13"x13")

Alternately, from Grill Cloth:
http://www.grillecloth.com/images/philco87.jpg and trim it down to fit.

Lastly, get a good quality high pixel .jpg photo in macro of the proper one, photoshop it to correct the colors, and print it onto an iron-on transfer and make one, or send the color corrected file to grill cloth & ask for a custom job.

Just a few thoughts,
Scott
