Rather than spend thousand$ on replacing the stock I would simply have the borders of the checkering mullered and have some of those screws professionally replaced.
It could have had either a DHBP or a checkered butt by request. A PGCA research letter might address the butt treatment if something other than a DHBP was requested.
