I'd be surprised if you were able to find anything much closer than the one you found in the ebay link. I don't believe that multi-chevron pattern has been reproduced although Ron would know for sure. If you don't like the color, which seems a little more yellow, the guys here who are pretty good with cabinet restorations have used toning lacquers to alter the color of grill cloths. I have never tried it though.
Cheers,
Bob
