Help with woodgrain matching

I have a build thread I am doing over in the 4x4 section here. It is a 72 Super Cheyenne K20 4x4 truck. The friend I am building for "Bestview" purchased an NOS aluminum woodgrain panel from DeadheadNM a few years back for this project. I finally got the glove box all stripped down and re-painted and set the woodgrain pane on top to see how it looks. Then I purchased a new woodgrain gauge bezel. They are not even close in woodgrain color or style.

So the question is, is there a 3M vinyl that others have used that will match closely to the glove box pattern? I have an accurate CAD file of the gauge bezel and I own a full-size CNC router machine that has a tangential cutter that I can cut the vinyl to the exact size and install. I also have to recover the woodgrain door panel inserts to match.

Any help on this is really appreciated.
