I didn't even notice that the burl was faux finished, unlike the grille bars those areas are something they could have used real veneer on if they wanted to. So it had a burl grain originally? I've noticed that faking birdseye maple, stump/crotch walnut, olive burl, and zebrano was pretty popular as well back then. My FADA 1001 originally had an olive burl grain on the front panel, also some of my Packard Bell sets used a faux grain, I haven't figured out what to replace it with yet.
