All, I finally have my 1940 radiobar Zephyr in my shop and I'm starting to plan the restoration.  The radiobar has a 40-165 radio.  The grille cloth is torn but it's not very visible due to the wide grill bars.  Attached is a picture of the cloth that was in the radio. Due to its condition I suspect it's original.  Is this a Philco pattern?    Can anyone recommend a close replacement?  I realize they're not many options at this time.   The photo is a bit weird, the pattern has small gold diamonds.  This is the closest match I've found so far

Thanks in advance.
Keith
