The sales literature is often a good source of information about the type of wood veneer used.

In the case of the Philco 90 cathedral we can look to the 1931 sales card flip book:

So you're on the right track with 'oriental wood'. Maybe this?

"Oriental Wood Veneer is a walnut-like wood with darker stripes and a hint of red and some figure. It is also known as Australian Walnut and Queensland Walnut."
