...could also be Three and Five. They didn't redecorate as often back then.
If I remember correctly, Three, Four and Five had console rooms that were similar to that, at least. (I haven't seen enough of the other classic eras to know about theirs.)
I prefer the less shiny and more rough and cobbled-together look of Nine and Ten, though. Although Eleven's -- as well as being steampunky --is a little of both. (And I'm tickled that the TARDIS incorporated the pencil ball into the console.) I like Eight's steampunk/antique-y combo as well.
...So, after typing the above, I went ahead and researched a bit on Wikipedia's TARDIS entry. (Which has at least a few small errors, but I think this material is reasonably accurate at least.) Quotes from there, and my commentary, below:
...the secondary console room used during Season 14 in 1976/77 [Four's era, which is comprised of Sarah's last 3 eps, the bridge episode, and the first 3 with Leela], which has wood panelling and a more antique feel to it.
I have fond memories of that one as well.
In the Third Doctor serial The Time Monster (1972), the console room of the TARDIS was dramatically altered, including the wall roundels. This new set...was disliked by producer Barry Letts who felt that the new roundels resembled washing-up bowls stuck to the wall...the set was damaged in storage between production blocks and had to be rebuilt...
