There's a note on drawing GE-16048 that says the real field will have two back-to-back pieces of 0.125 for aesthetic purposes, attached to be functionally equivalent to 0.25.

I suspect the original design had a single 0.25" piece with wood print on one side. They obviously realized that would scar very easily, and are now going with the 0.125 sandwich with the wood print in the middle.

EDIT: And sniped. Ah well.
