We have also seen the entire cheek as a laminate and checkered over - again, to hide a stock head repair. Look closely for differences in the grain of the wood. stock head as compared to cheek piece. Those cheeks do look a bit exaggerated around the aft edges.
I agree with Chuck, the rest of the stock is original and very nice.
