Tom,
I'm probably not going to be much help here, but I'll try.
From my observations Parker stocks and butt profiles can differ greatly in their shapes & profiles. I have two #1 framed 16ga guns from the same era. One has a small slim profile and the other is noticably larger and therefore also weighs considerably more. Looking at the two of them together you would swear the larger one is on a two frame.
My suggestion would be for you to call someone like Brad Bachelder & get his his take on your situation. I've had Brad replace a trashed out DHBP with a reproduction one and make it look as close to original as possible. He has some good tricks up his sleeve for this sort of thing.
