At least on the post-60000 cars, the panel itself is vynide (or leather?) over molded pressboard...if I'm understanding the question. I don't recall anything behind that panel other than the gas tank.

There were several different styles of panel before TS60K, one of which did have a partial metal panel at the top. But all of them were just pressboard at the bottom, AFAIK. And as Andy says, that was all between the vinyl (or Vynide) interior and the tank itself.

Yvan - The rear of my 1958 TR3A has the 2-piece assembly like George shows. Mine has the steel top like his, but where he has masonite, I have a piece of 5/16" thick plywood. The steel has a bend in it where it attaches with screws or rivets along the top on the plywood and the top of the steel has some jute-like padding as you might use to pad the arms of an arm-chair before you put on the final covering. My original back piece of vinyl was sewn in strips to give the horizontal result. The new one from 1990 is leather and is made the same way with sewn strips.
On the later TR3A we restored (TS 81551 L) the rear was a one-piece panel like masonite which had been softened (perhaps in water) and curved along the top for the shelf where the hood stick assembly rests when it's folded down. The red coloured vinyl on that later rear panel was one piece (not sewn) and was moulded all in one piece.
