I believe it is called automotive panel board. It is about 7/64" in thickness (slightly thicker than the original. Cuts easily with a box cutter after making several passes. Don't use a jig saw as it leaves ragged cut edges. Just finished replacing all panels in my 2126 7 passenger. Not sure if the "tacks" referred to are the ones holding the panel to the imbedded tack strip. Upholstery shops have those metal tack strips in rolls that clamp over the edge of the panel. The upholstery shop also might have scraps of the panel board that they will give you to get them out of their way. The upholstery shop did most of my interior but I did replace the right and left front kick panels and the right and left rear quarter window panels (larger than the ones in your picture) using the metal tack strips.
