According to Dachis the plain R 46 is a "correct" match to the SX 71. 
Yours is about two years newer. The "B"  should have a dark grill with 
lite  "h" in the front , but I can't tell about flocking.
I'm also a woodworker and flocking is a fairly common item with box
makers. They usually use a red but I think black is availble.
However, I don't remember the source. Try a "wood" magazine list or
one of the wood news groups and they will tell you a source. I vaguely
recall an article about flocking.
Google might work also.
BTW I've had at least 3 SX 71's and is a favorite. Wonderful sound.
