By that time hammer guns were getting into using the original dogs head buttplates. But a solid steel plate would have been standard on them before that. The gun likely is right and original. But without seeing it, nobody can tell for sure. The proper steel plate would be curved and have some shape to it and have a spur on the top. And for a grade 2, the screws should be engraved. And usually the spur of the plate engraved too.
