The Remington repair codes during WWII may well include the replacement stock but that time frame is wrong for the Meriden features of the D grade stock.
My opinion is that IF it was done by Remington during that time frame they used a stock that had been previously taken off of a pre-1937 DH and kept in a used parts inventory.

Do you have a PGCA research letter on the gun? It may very well have done at Parker Brothers in Meriden and there may (or may not) be records to support the replacement “as cheap as can” or something to that effect.
Your quote “My original thought was this stock was maybe scavenged from another gun.” Is the most likely answer.
