The car is a 23rd series, whether or not a later 49 or 50.
The two door panels shown are the Deluxe Eight and Standard Eight. The upper one with the stitching hilights and the chrome piece in the woodgrain garnish is the Deluxe. The lower shot with the stainless hoop in the panel but no accent in the garnish is the Standard Eight. At least that's the way the 22nd series cars are.
The vinyl at the bottom is a "wiped" or "Spanish" grain, brown with black in the grain. I'd found a good match years ago in modern upholstery vinyl.

The seat upholstery gets confusing, at least to me. The usage may change from 22nd to 23rd series. There is tri-color houndstooth and a striped broadcloth. I think there are modern wools that come close to the striped material. i do not know of anything very close to the houndstooth.
