I am very surprised that the stock in the wrist area has held up to use. It is very thin.
It is interesting to say the least and based on your photos it is a little difficult to see what exactly is going on there.
The stock from the wrist forward looks like it is original, but from the grip back, not so much on the upper half. But I cannot clearly see that it is two pieces of wood put together.

Then again the toe line of the stock looks right and even some parts of the monte carlo.

I think that it MAY be an all original piece of wood and the stock likely had a “full” comb on it which meant a lot of meat to work with. Then the top of the grip area was reworked into the shape it is in now and the germanic grip attachment was put on. The checkering is correct. The round knob grip... it would be cool if it is original. It could be. Just the photos of the grip in that area are not good enough to make a call on it. I wager that it may be.
