Can anyone verify if 1938 body colors have color options for interior cloth? Would the original rosy tan color wool be correct for all color options?

There were no interior color coices in 1938.The Master had the rosy tan mohair only.
The Master DeLuxe had a tan mohair also and a tan woven cloth as optional, which is very rare.
The first Chevrolet to offer colored interiors was the handfull of Easter (Spring) model 1941's.
Then you would need to wait till 1952 to get a color keyed interior again (not counting convertibles and 1950-51 hardtops).

Thanks Gene. Was the mohair for the Master and Master Deluxe different shades of tan?

The shade of tan was almost the same but the Master had a slight pattern of another slightly darker color mixed in.Like little speckles.
The 1938 and 1939 used the same material in both the Master and Master DeLuxe and the dealer albumn has good samples.
The Master material has never been available for restoration.
