What is the interior plywood?

Does anyone know what type of plywood Ericson was using in 1982? I've got a 1982 E33 and a plywood vertical settee front has an area damaged by battery acid. I'd like to replace the panel with new plywood that will look like it fits in.

The plywood is about 3/8" thick, and it looks to me that the visible surface is different than the back side.

Is it one-sided teak plywood? Mahagony plywood? Does anyone know? Any recommendations of what might have the same fine-grained look?
Thanks!

Don't know what was used back then, but when I replaced a panel in my nav station the closest match I could find was mahogany plywood that I darkened up a bit with some Minwax stain.

EY was said to have transitioned from mahogany interiors to teak by the end of the 70's. I am guessing that you are looking at teak-veneered plywood. Our boat interior is a mixture of teak veneers and solid teak corners and trims.
