I have patched the covering for this model but never had to replace it. I did a restoration on a Zenith TO (R600 I think) and discovered techniques for replacing the skin on Zenith web sites. I would imagine it's much the same. If you can get the old sections off in one piece, maybe with a little heat and a blade, you will have a pattern for each piece. Take lots of pictures.

The previous owner cut holes in one side so I removed the ends and all other leather. The ends came off in one piece but they seemed to have been formed around the corners no cut marks.
