I believe the striped material with the fine lines in Tim Gilmartin's picture is the outside of the fuel tank filler pipe sleeve.

In the background is the original piece from behind the rear seat, it has thick black lines.
To the RHS is the sample supplied by Rick Hulett which has thin black lines with a finer pattern.
At the lower LHS is the material I made up. It is based on the original sample but I made the lines too thin. I was not looking at the bigger picture at the time. With care I can salvage the job by redrawing the lines thicker.
So we have two distinct line patterns, one with thick lines in early production cars and one with fine lines in later production cars.
I believe the background colour was all the same. The sample of the original material in the picture has faded a lot.
My Cord has Serial No 1586 A, I have no idea when the line pattern changed.

Thought I would capture and post pictures of the trunk fabric in my 812 Beverly. No idea if it is original but sure looks like it to me. Hope these can be of some help.

May I talk you into sticking your head into your trunk and doing some more detailed photos (including some overall, in corners, and ... ) ?

While Gai and I were in the Auburn Hospital in 2018 Zoey was in the Grand Parade with her friends the Butler family. She had a ball in the Butler's 1919 Auburn tourer.
I have already experimented with redrawing the lines and think it will work out ok.
The attached pictures show Zoey on the left with Taylor on the right
Cheers from Down Under,
Terry, Gai and Zoey

When I suggested to my wife that I could remove the lining panels and redo the lines to widen them ................. she replied "DON"T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!"
I guess it stays.

body. This can be accessed by removing the spare wheel but that is a chore. I modified my trunk shelf so that it has a removable section in the RHS above the void. It is hidden away by the carpet over the shelf.
To access the compartment you just have to pull back the carpet and remove the lid. There is a lot of space for a screw jack, modern hub cap removing tool, heaps of other tools and spares. I also fitted a small panel so that the stored items would not damage the fuel tank filler sleeve.
This leaves the rest of the trunk free for everything else or clear for car shows.

Thanks for posting these pictures. There is only one Beverly that I know of in Australia and it has been customised to some extent. Others will have to comment on these pictures.
Can you add a picture of the inside of the trunk lid please???
Thanks,

I stand corrected. There are 2 jute panels, one on the back side of the rear seat with lines facing forward, and another at the front of the trunk with lines facing rearward. I will have to make sure I refresh my memory by looking at what I did before commenting the next time.

Check the attached layout diagram.
On another note I made a drawing of the wires that pass through the head lining which is full size and can be used to make new stays in stainless steel.

I am surprised however that the lines show on the back side of the rear seat as Rick told me, and his installation instructions say, that the lines should face forward on that piece of material with the raw jute showing in the trunk. Since he didn't have a source for the raw jute he said just turn the piece so the lines face forward.

Rick , trying to make a buck specializing in interiors, was at the same time extremely free with his knowledge and time, to individuals trying to restore their cars. Hats off to that attitude.
I can see that gathering restoration info is generally popular with those that read and replied to this forum. Is there also a more widely read forum that would reach more eyes?
