interesting ... :)
the blue hexagon was foam too but more dense.
mine had it when I got it in 1992, it was still in pretty good shape compared to the all front house one.
I kept it of course but a few years later it was all twisted ...
so after I restored a professional audio speaker Foam & it gave it a very profesionnal stage monitoring look...
It held on 15 years instead of 5 or 6 for the original one...

I am not 110% sure but I assume that the front was made of foam (it pretty much looks like on this scan: http://studio.cordiboy.free.fr/images/Simmons%20SDC200.jpg) which disappears after almost 30 years. I recently got an SDC200 as well and I decided to restore the front with this particular material: http://www.tundtmusic.com/product_info.php/language/en/info/p241_Fender--174--style-schwarzer-Frontbespannstoff.html
I already got it but work is not finished yet. During the last 10 years I have only seen a hand full of SDC200s on Ebay & co. and none of them still had it's front or even the blue hexagon. So some improvisation is demanded.
Does anybody know something about the blue hexagon? Material? Weight?
