I have seen 610B sets with Pattern #5. They might have been early production models, since Pattern #5 is really a 1935 Philco pattern.
No, you don't want 12, 13 or 52...that is a fine weave without any pattern in it. Those are like the grille cloth used in Philco 20 cathedrals (#13, #52) and RCA 100 speakers.
Why not keep what you have now? That pattern isn't being reproduced...and from your pictures, it appears that your cloth is not torn nor does it have any holes in it. Original cloth, even if faded, is always better than a reproduction - especially if it is a pattern that is not being reproduced.
If you must replace...it looks to me like pattern #30 would be a better choice.
