Don't you just love that paint removal tool? When one of my guy see that thing out, he cries.
Is that the only place that need patching where the old wall goes? If you are hard set on keeping that floor, I suggest you remove some of that section and lace in the proper flooring and sand and finish. Having a straight seam look like crap. Do you have a table saw? Most of that fir can be had and mill to thickness and even cut tongue and groove on a simple table saw or a router table. Get Vertical Grain Doug Fir and mill small batch enough for the patch work. How thick is that floor? You might be able to use hydrogen peroxide to get that dark satin out?
If more then 20-30 pieces of flooring is needed, I would get it milled at a local flooring place or large lumber yard. Ask around and they should steering you toward the right place. I bill the clients for it but in your case, it is only a few hours of work. The result will be great.
