OK

If I assume the unexposed portion of old cloth is the original color, then the Richmond cloth is, as far as I can tell from the photos, a closer match in color, texture and sheen. Radio Daze seems to have matched to the color of the aged cloth. Still to me Radio Daze is a closer match since I've never seen a new 37-116.

Both clothes are "inverted" versions of the original, dark undivided stripe and a light divided stripe.

Maybe I'll flip a coin. Neither would look awful.

Buy the way is there anything I should know about removing the speaker other than that it looks pretty heavy?
Can't think of anything witty.
