Chuck B. emailed the contents of the letter that you have seen in the previous thread. The actual letter may be here, haven’t checked the mailbox.
The hard rubber buttplate looks factory fitted to me, the engraved screws are timed correctly also. The particular dog on the plate looks period correct and there is considerable wear at the top, consistent with the rest of the gun. The letter specifies LOP at 14-1/2”, that’s exactly what it measures.
The fit is flawless but it is what it is.
