The covering on mine and a few other earlier ones I've looked at appears to be some type of rubberoid coating calendared on a woven cotton or canvas backing.
Exactly. So calendared rubber sheet will be closest to this, but may bloom (exude a white haze). As far as using solvents, take great care - rubber compounds also use oils as plasticizers. With rubber (cross-linked) the failure mode is even uglier, a swollen gel.
