Culver General Discussion / Culver istrument panel

Hi all,
Here is a picture of an original Culver instrument panel out of NC37803 S/N 313.
My dad bought this airplane in 1977 and it was totally original and unaltered.
At the most It looks like it had one instrument hole added (lower right instrument hole???)
Note, that it's not a mahogany panel as one might expect. It's what looks like birch with a veneer over the front side.
The veneer looks to be walnut(?) but I don't know for sure. I'll take to a wood workers store and find out for sure what kind of wood the veneer is, and let everybody know.
