Default Replacing desk inlay

I have a fairly large (1.4m x 0.8m) wooden desk - ex-MoD, collapsible
but quite sturdy. The inlay is cracked throughout, and I'd like to
replace it.

Any recommendations on a source for the inlay? Leather would probably be
too thick and expensive, and not possible in one piece. The existing
looks to be a thin sheet of vinyl - has the appearance of bakelite.

Also any tips for removing the old and sticking the new - although
videos showing the same process with leather inlay desks suggests that
it shouldn't be too tricky, just time consuming. Biggest challenge for
me would be cutting the precisely to size, I think.

Cheers, Rob
