I would bet that it is.  I see on the other forum from a quick search that Zenith and others did put asbestos heat shields in their radios and its hard to imagine why a piece of cardboard would be put there.  So I'd treat it as asbestos to be safe.  Found this on a Canadian forum and I'm sure others on this Phorum have encountered it.  
Cheers,
Bob
