That "Ed-1" actually is Ed Good.
The buttplate could be original but keep in mind that a VH of that vintage actually would have had a spurred DHBP so installing an earlier spurred steel butt plate would have been no great feat. That being said, those screws were perfectly fitted and THAT'S quite a feat.
