I’m very surprised to learn that it is not the original cloth. It appears to be made for this radio as the pattern sweeps from the center of the opening. It is at least 60 years old, as it has been the same since I was a child. I’d like to continue to use it, but unfortunately it has a tear, that I do not think can be repaired. 
Thanks for the information.
John
