Westfalia interior ply covering

Hi all
I want to replace rather than re-stick the material that covers the interior side panels, inside the cupboards and high top roof panels.
Not sure what you call it, but it is basically the stuff that is stuck on to the plywood for everywhere that does not use the melamine type finish.
Below is the same as my interior, showing the same finish I am trying to replace on the door panels and in the high top:
Any ideas what it is called and where I can get some?!! Happy if peeps can suggest a close alternative as I will recover the lot so will not have to match anything colour wise
Many thanks in advance

I've been looking at this to refinish roof when fitted. Gowesty sell this -
http://72.29.165.76/ec_view_details.php ... parent_id=" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but i didnt want to deal with shipping, somebody in general chat was looking to share delivery costs if they havent got it already. I was going to go for
http://www.vescom.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - lino 29527 and whilst not the same is lighter and not a basket weave, but looks similar.
In your pictures the lining looks lighter, mine is a 1984 westy with brown trim, if that makes a difference.
If you find anything else would be great to know..

Thinking about it, the material is more like a heavy duty wallpaper. I know this because it is starting to peal off in places
I guess taking out each panel and then recovering with a beige coloured (hessian type textured) wallpaper would not be too dissimilar to the actual covering used, just as long as it is quite thick.
It is not material as in fabric, but more like paper/card.
Might give this ago dependent on the finding the right colour!

the vescom wallpaper, is standard wallpaper in wide rolls, i think fabric backed very durable difficult to rip - nearest to the original i've found

Yep, a few moisture-buckled boards in the hightop here, too. I'm not _sworn_ to originality, but replacing just a couple of sections with non-matching would look silly.
