I suspect that different types were used over time. The earliest radio cabinet photo finishes look like paper to me. Scratch the surface and you expose white paper underneath. On those, it's not so much the top layer as the underlying glue that's beastly to get off.
Later types like what's on my 1958 Miss America look much more plasticky to my eye. Could be anything, as miniman82 says. There are many kinds of plastic!
