Even when painted, the grain would show through?
In my youth, when I was courting my wife. Her close (tenement entrance) 
was next to a police box and a bus stop. So I had plenty of time to 
study the police box after I had seen her home. I do not remember any 
sign of a wood grain on that Tardis. Vomit and urine, yes. ;-)
Another thing I remember is that in my home city the police boxes were 
pillar box red and when Dr Who was first shown it was in B&W so red they 
always have been to me. As in my rendition in TC-RTC - British Airships 
Past, Present and Future.
Your image is near perfect except for the colour. ;-)

You suspect correctly. Any external wiring would have been cut off and 
sold for scrap.
