There is an interesting discussion on this subject going on now over at the antique radio forum.

Honestly, I do not know exactly what was used originally. Obviously something flat, and dark brown in color.
(edit) Derek, if you're after the "original factory look," please do not finish the outside of the cabinet in a "monotone" color. The 620B should have a medium walnut front panel; the top and sides, as well as the trim below, and on either side of the front panel, should be Van Dyke Brown; several coats of Extra Dark Walnut will also give the very dark appearance, without the greenish tint under certain lighting conditions that Mohawk's newer "runs" of VDB has.
