Wasn't there a chapter written on Trevallion doing a "butt transplant" some years ago? Was it MacIntosh who wrote it? Maybe why Trevallion's name is under the plate.
It was done to save cost of inletting the head of the stock when the original was intact.
I have the opposite situation on a French ou where the head of the stock was replaced and the balance of the stock was transplanted. Go figure. Maybe I should check under the butt plate on that one.
