Looks a lot like heavy construction paper or what is known as "boxboard" - the stuff that cereal boxes are made of, which is not technically "cardboard" (The brown kraft paper stuff with corrugations).Anyway, the pillow thing is nifty.
Mark,

Good to hear from you. How are things progressing with the HUP? Pillow wise, there are no tags on it, so dating it will be pure speculation. I'm thinking of putting it on the bench seat, but I think it will clash with the canvas curtains...

I kept some samples of the liner, but have not yet found anything like it commercially. However, I will be asking the CWM for a contact number for the chap who dontated the 45 HUP. They used an interesting material that looks a little thicker than the original, but looks the part. Good luck with the restoration.
