The substrate for the Internationals (CCD and AS) is "light plywood", not particle board. This material is quite light compard to solid wood. If you look at the parts catalog, you will find that the "light plywood" is available with a number of backside finishes from plain wood tthrough matt white to gloss white.

I removed some sections of the material on my trailer and was amazed to find how light it was for 3/4" thick material. For instance, I was able to remove a piece about 10" x 18" that was hidden above the stove vent hood and use it for a change I made elsewhere. The piece was very light.
