Interesting VHE 20 Gauge

Sure it's not orignal but a couple hours spent with a #49 rasp, some flies and sand paper gets rid of the Monte Carlo . If the price could be haggled down you would be getting a very serviceable Parker. It's already an abomination so why not make it the way it should be. Heck even the beaver tail could be reshaped.
As for why it was done is the question.

Because some folks are determined to turn a vintage gun into a "modern" gun instead of accepting it for what it is, IMO. That stock looks like it belongs on a contemporary target gun.
