Definitely the wrong cloth. Philco had not started using the chevron cloth yet when the 60B Version 2 was being produced.

This version of the 60 also used what is commonly known among collectors as the "70/90 cloth pattern".

An exact duplicate is no longer available, but you can get pretty close with Kenny Richmond's Whiskey Rayon, or Radio Daze's GRC02.

P.S. I hate to tell you this, but in that "after" photo, the cabinet was not toned properly.
