Philco Furniture History does not give the color scheme, but from the 38-7CS models I have seen and from your photographs, it sure looks like Medium Walnut to me.
The entire set should be this color - even the contrasting veneer on top. Just the different grain pattern of the veneer inlay (the "L" you refer to) will give it a different look from the rest...which was the intent of the manufacturer.
Looks like you did very well indeed! A 38-7CS, a 70 highboy...and what is that other set, a Jackson-Bell?
Edit: Let's hope that 70 lowboy was not coated in polyurethane. If you can get that clear coat off easily, some Medium Walnut will make it look like new again.
