The veneer should not be anything special. Just a tight strait grain. Do as already recommended, parallel cut and all that. Cutting th edge is tedious but should blend well since it is a thin piece. I did a similar repair on my 84 cabinet and it was fairly easy. No "Wood" filler! Especially on the face...
