A model 1479 or 1479DE (1941 160 Convertible Coupe) could have the following finish on the dashboard/instrument panel:

Tan Grained
Green Lacquered
Tan Lacquered
Gray Lacquered

At least that's my interpretation of the Parts Manual...

The Parts Manual shows Tan, Gray and Green window mouldings for the various 160 closed models so I would think your assumption is correct. Apparently, using 'body color' for the dashboard/instrument panel didn't happen until the 22nd/23rd series convertibles. Anybody know for sure?

Now I am no expert, but the 1941 Super Eight sales catalogue...found here...shows both finishes. The painted finish seems to be associated with the two toned interiors, while woodgrain is shown with the solid interiors. Drawings of the convertibles are a bit less distinct.
