Not only is the fit of the stop plate incorrect, the fit of the entire doll’s head is incorrect - possibly indicating the barrels came from a different gun. We often see evidence of barrels brought back on face evidenced by the gaps left on each side under the sides of the “page boy” haircut (for lack of a better description) of the doll’s head but for those gaps on all sides it seems to indicate something more strange.
