A few days ago I asked for a closeup pic of the muzzles but got no answer. Muzzles look like it was used to pole a duck boat around a gravel pit...

The stock looks (to me at least) original but unfinished - lacking any butt treatment at all and missing any evidence it had the silver oval. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of it's originality though.
Generally, if a customer didn't want any kind of buttplate or pad the notation in the book would be "no butt" or words to that effect and the stocker or checkering contractor would simply checker the butt all over.
