All I've ever seen is a simple matching vinyl
covering over the rear recessed panel.

For what it is worth, I bought a new Austin-Healey BN 4 L 057463 in June of
1958. It was OEW and had red leather interior with white piping. The rear
seat back was covered in matching red vinyl on all surfaces. There were no
wood
surfaces that were painted on the rear seat back of this car. Believe me I
had this seat back out numerous times in the first few months that summer.
With
the frequent summer showers I learned how to erect the top as quickly as
possible and then when the sun came back out I became almost as proficient in
stowing the top and using the tonneau cover.
