My wife and I restore and flip a lot of “MCM” furniture. We just use teak scratch remover for stuff like this, which is just a stained oil really. It’s pretty magical, wipe on and scratches, fades from sun etc disappear and merge together to give a consistent finish.
You may get away with just wiping it on, otherwise you may need to give it a light sanding and then try the stain.
