I think that is a yes on the wire-bound, part no. ME284 1947-53 Heater duct tubing, 1-3/4 inch diameter, cloth, $18.00 Each
The plastic alternative is part no. ME284P 1947-53 Heater duct tubing, 1-3/4 inch diameter, plastic $15.00 Each
Like I said the price doesn't make a hill of beans difference. Would like to see opinions of those who have bought either or both.
I do know that with age the original style deteriorates and you can't remove and replace it very often without tearing it. Of course by the time it gets to that point it will likely be someone else who may not even be born yet who has to deal with it.
