The cheek panels would not have originally been checkered on your V grade. Unless specially ordered that way. By the look of them, they do not look factory.

Usually checkered cheeks on low grade guns are done for two reasons. To dress them up, or more commonly to hind a repair to the stock head.

Forend checkering is also not the normal pattern for a V grade. So, maybe the cheeks were done in order to dress the gun up along with the forend work.
