You had noted the lack of a S/N under the guard. This hints to it being a replacement stock.
Also, checkered action panels were not typically used on C grades. And the shape of yours in relation to the action panels looks below Parker quality. So that is most likely not original to the gun.
Also, the Checkering on the grip LOOKS like it might be finer than the checkering on the forend. But I cannot see both in the same picture, so it is hard to tell.
And if the wood is low against the metal, I would say that it was made that way from the start, or it was oversanded in a refinish at some time.
