Not sure this will help much. I have 2 later Standard Product's both with Underwood barrels dated 3-44 P proof marks 4" from end of muzzle 2236704 and 2238359.

I have a Standard Products 2237842 with a 3-44 barrel
My barrel is marked 10-43. It's got the flat bolt and same op slide as yours too. I think. And yeah, my wood is lighter than some. Not as light as yours, but has a lighter hew to it. I wonder if it was their finishing process or if the wood was just lighter to begin with. Is the trigger housing stamped/braized?
I have 2,175,176 with a 1-44 barrel. One source says Jan 1944 for build date.
I think Jan 1944 also.
Man, they were pumping them things out. Wow. Mine is 2,059,xxx and the barrel is marked 10-43.
May be a Type IV stock with the long barrel channel.
Will be curious if it has the extra cut for recoil plate support.
Nice looking Birch stock.
Enjoy,
