Hi Mike,
I had posted some links on the other site for you about the metal escutcheon of the 40-180. They are brass, but were not polished originally. They were painted.
Other models also use the same part.
These escutcheons come up on Ebay, for reasonable prices. The color I have found that is almost exact is the Plasti-Kote "odds'n'ends" small cans. Color name Brass. I think the number is 139S
A escutcheon made from wood would not be right, and IMHO would not look good.
Take care.
Gary Rabbitt.
