My parents had a similar style with Berber covers and if my memory serves me right it would be about late 60's early 70's they also only had Noblett furniture for their dining and lounge coffee and buffet tables oh boy they were made to last and still were in excellent condition when they passed away so sad to have to let them all go but we didn't need it whoever bought them at auction will be happy, they will outlast a lot of the 'ready access' furniture that's available today. I can't remember if the lounge suite was Parker or Noblett but the style is the same.

What width are the backing panels on the robe? Sounds like an old dodgy pantry we had where the back panel buckled - it had as much chance of keeping a large cockroach out as it does a small dog lol. So with the backing panel effectively useless, I would remove it completely & start over with the MDF interior wall lining in the above photo so it looks more like a genuine wall that was always there. I would paint the sheet prior to install ... I love these panels & the character they provide but those little grooves are pesky & time consuming to paint with a brush in situ. Best to spray paint it before it is screwed into place. I think it would look magic & at 9mm, should fit snug in your space? If money is no option, consider getting a pro in to rectify this & put the wall in.

It’s a hard one. I’ve not seen it in person but there are more picture on Pintrest which may give you a better idea.
