Hello and welcome!
The original veneer was walnut.
The front panel photofinish can be replicated. It would be a bit of work, but would look much better than a plain face.
Stewart Schooley has a method of replicating photofinish. You can read about it here:

And someone redid a 37-610B over on the Antique Radio Forum not too long ago...he did a really good job:

I especially recommend you read pages 2 through 5 of this thread carefully.
I disagree with the use of gold paint - he should have used a light brown instead, a lighter color than the medium walnut brown in the front panel - but otherwise, it turned out extremely well.
