Crist, you probably won't find a closer pattern without some NOS fabric. The color is a little off, trying to match the lighter color of the original as shown on the cutouts on the backing board. The darker is reflecting the color over the wood. You could experiment with a small 1"X1" piece of your new and try a little bleach on it. Not knowing the material it is made of you can at least see how it would change the color, trying to get lighter to match the original. Otherwise I would say just go with the new stuff.
Best, Jerry
