I'd think the usual would be PVC, and later solid-state chassis would have PVC with the temperature/fire rating printed on it (after UL tightened their requirements). Exceptions could be teflon-insulated wire in the high-voltage section.

Maybe not cloth, but seems to have a braided covering. I found a seller of wire that matches pretty much in color and braiding, but it is 18ga and the original is 22ga. Also found a seller in Greece that has 100' of original 22ga wiring in all the colors, but it's over 500 delivered. Would be worth it if I had a business of restoring older sets and wanted to keep things original.
