Default Proper butt plate for Parker VH Grade O, mfg 1903 s/n 117185

My Parker 12 GA double, VH Grade, s/n 117185, mfg 1903 has an ugly red rubber "Red Head" brand butt plate. I would like to replace it with the proper Parker butt plate with the dog's head. Should it say "Parker" or "Parker Bros"?
The 2 hole spacing in the stock is approximately 3-1/4" on center.
Thanks for any advice or info

It should definitely say Parker Brothers as the dog's head butt plates that say Parker only weren't introduced until the very late 1930's after the operation was moved by Remington Arms to Ilion NY.

The screw spacing is the same on all Parkers within the same frame size.
