I believe that you are correct it is likely poplar, probably tulip poplar, or gum wood, they used a lot of it in radio cabinets and furniture because it was stable, and inexpensive. You could probably use alder or any other tight grained, figure less wood, for the same purpose, such as maple, birch, or beech as well.
