Question Ferranti Nova 1935

I recently acquired a Ferranti Nova which will require a complete rebuild as it has been "got at". No problem with that as I have the relevant data, but the radio is missing the back panel. Has anyone a picture of the original so that I can make a replacement in the same style?
A few pics below show the awful soldering that's been done during previous repairs.

Radio Museum shows a back for a Nova All Wave Superhet if that's your model.

Alos for the Consolette.

I'd be interested in how you make a replacement back, as I have the same problem with my Nova with this missing bit.

Thank you Station X - I should have looked there!

Making the back - Herald1360's link is a good way when there are so many small holes - I agree using hardboard or similar would be very difficult.
