Default Trojan 12 ga. butt plate

I have acquired a Trojan 12 ga. The shotgun is absent a proper butt plate. I wouldn't be surprised if the remainder of what is there is not left from a recoil pad, but not sure. I know that the Trojans came advertised as about 14" length, and assume this is the measurment from the front trigger in a direct line. Mine is 13 3/4 maybe 13 7/8, this may be a dead give away that it has been cut off to accomodate a pad.

With these considerations:
1) Are there original butt plates available?
2) Does it matter much, as I saw the repro on e-bay for $17?
3) If it has been cut, is a recoil pad a more approiate fix?

Thanks,
Mike
