I dunno about 70/90 cloth (GRC-02), I don't think I would use it in a 1938 Philco but it's TerryMSU's radio...

Another possibility is Radio Daze's GRC-14 (the "Ribbed" pattern):

On first glance, Nathan, the first photo in your post just above (post #10) showing the cloth from the auction site looks like it could be a decent replacement. But I would be questioning two things: the size of the pattern, and the thickness of the cloth? Some of that upholstery fabric is pretty thick and will muffle the sound. Plus the proble of trying to make it more of a gold color.
