Philco 59C (1935) Toner Colors - Nathan Slingerland - 03-31-2016

I'm refinishing a Philco 59C like this one (not a picture of my radio):

   

A couple other examples are:

It looks to me like it should have a two-tone look with the front panels lighter than the rest?

What Mohawk toner colors should I use for the front panels, main part of the front and sides/top?

I checked my notes and for mine I used Mohawk ultra classic perfect brown for all except the two small front panel sections where I used two very light coats of Mohawk ultra classic medium brown walnut. You can see the results here:
