I saw one of those sitting around at the Royal Navy museum in Portsmouth back in 2004. I was there checking out the museum on the day before the 60th anniversary of D-Day. Didn’t look like they were taking too much good care of the poor thing, either. What a shame.

I spent today at the WWII museum in New Orleans speaking with one of the WWII vets that reconstucted the landing craft on exhibit there. He stated the wood was a 7 layer mahogany plywood made in Greece.
