Cool story!
Your story is a lot like it was to get the Kahiki stuff I have.
It just does not fall in your lap.

Try to find a translucent paper maybe that stuff we used to make
model air planes with.
Test it first. Just lay paper inside and light it.
If you get the right glow. Use it.
Swankys right clean the lamp before you start.
First lay paper inside trace size to fit 1.5 inches larger than true fit.
Also get a low tack spray adhesive spray the paper you use and the
lamp paper inside.
Now lay paper inside. Trim to size.
You can glue around the edges of new paper to make a secure fit.
This method should not harm old tapa.
I would also keep the old tapa.
Cool lamp!!!
