Looks a lot like heavy construction paper or what is known as "boxboard" - the stuff that cereal boxes are made of, which is not technically "cardboard" (The brown kraft paper stuff with corrugations).
Guys,

The liner material seems to be the same material that was used on period vehicles. Picture below is a c.1942 Ford cab, which has a new paper/cardboard cab lining. I'm sure this sort of this material can be bought today, as it is still used to make heavy paper/cardboard decorative boxes and the like.



Hope this helps,
Hanno
