Looks like it could be Meranti, in Australia in the 70’s and 80’s we used heaps of this for skirtings, door jambs and architraves in housing. The material we got here came from Philippines (I think). I remember buying pack lots of architrave in particular.

Some pictures of your restorations would be great. Melbourne and Geelong are now both very large cities, Melbourne has a population of around 5 million, not sure about Geelong though. I grew up in a rural area north of Melbourne in the fifties and it was a different world.
