Nobody used MDO.. I don't think it was really even available back then unless you worked at a experimental sign factory.  
Must use?!?  
Think cheap!  
1/2" to 5/8" thick common fir plywood is prety good  
for these amps.  
I hate particle board, but guess what... they used that cheap crap too.  
1/4" to 5/16" for the back panels.  
Dont use anything hard like masonite.

1) 1/2" Baltic Birch ply for a clean tone  
with solid, clear bass and mids and bell like highs.  
2) 5/16" MDO for a more blurry and resonant bluesy tone - like a tweed Deluxe.  
3) 1/2" fir ply for a warm tone about 1/2 between Baltic Birch and MDO.
