Has gaudy silver paint on outside & inside cubbies a pansy paper ? Covering. Don't know if original to trunk. Any ideas??

I'd leave the inside pretty much like it is--unless you plan to use it--then you might want to strengthen it but try to keep the same look. The outside is bizarre. Definitely scratch that silver and see what it used to be. --you could actually get some textured wallpaper that can be painted--and use that instead of the silver but give it a patina-- like old leather maybe or very thin tin with rusty patina.
I have one exactly the same. I painted the metal a matte black and I used Minwax Antique oil on the wood slats. I use it as a wood box on my veranda so I didn't bother to finish it inside. Good luck with your project!
