It's commonplace for backs to be missing on early TV's. Often it was suggested to allow for better cooling. I found some nice selections of perforated sheet metal on eBay that worked very well to make backs for two Admiral TV's. I've seen them made from sheets of Masonite too, but it requires more work to make the cooling holes/slats. I agree that your RCA likely used masonite, although metal was used on the earlier models. The worst choice is peg-board in my opinion. It always looks cheesy.
