M1903 Mark I Stock Question

[dt1950]

Greetings! I am in the process of purchasing a Mark I rifle. All the metal components for a Mark I is there but the indentation for the stock is missing adjacent to the ejection port. The stock has been on the rifle for a long time and does not have re-built marks. As appropriate it has a JFC cartouche being made at SA. But the stock also has an ELJ stamp next to it. My references state this is an RIA inspector. Were stocks transferred to SA from RIA? The barrel date is 12-19. Could the stock be proper? Your thoughts please. Thanks! H.T. Katy, Texas
