Thanks Bob.  I found the outwater recommendation in the Type2 Library this morning.

After removing the water tank from the sink/icebox unit, I found the styrofoam block
insulation.  It was covered with a delaminating panel of 4mm birch plywood.  I cut a
new panel of the same size to cover up the original panel.  And reused the original
nails to fasten it down.  While I had the saw out, I also cut a similar panel to cover the
top of the foam block where no plywood was ever installed.  No issues with cutting
a new long plywood interior panel which fits below the left side louver window.  Just
read and follow Dolan's cutting advice, also found in the Type2 Library

David Kelly suggests Gorilla Glue.  This glue suprised me with the need for a very
firm clamping force during the cure time.  It expands to form a large fillet.  So far the
Elmer's woodworking glue has been used on this project.  Hope it lasts > 10 years.
Taking a break now for a pint and some football.  Then perhaps glue the linoleum down
to the new plywood floor.  Making some progress
