What timing. I am reading an article in our local radio club magazine and it has reprinted an article written by an Australian collector. It talks about the Hoffman company and specifically says that Hoffman used surplus WWII Plexiglas for the safety glass screen. He also mentions the colour as you have described it.
Interesting!
