"W-B" -- A Winchester Stock on an IBM?

Stock does show some taper at the leading edge of the slingwell, often seen on many WRA stocks, but not all.
The W concerns me, it's larger and a different style that's found on WRA stocks.
Look closely at the picture of the Hand guard showing the large W-B, it shows that the ( - ) isn't squared off to the B. Almost as if it was added to look like it was part of a W-B stamp. In that same picture the W looks to have a different height, width and clearly different than the W stamped in the slingwell.
Plus the spacing between the letters W-B is different on both the HG and slingwell.

The CC? I'd need to see a few better Macro pictures to compare.
Both the stock and HG have traits we can't see to determine if they were made by WRA.

Pictures of the size and how aggressive the milling is on the inside bottom op slide channel of the stock and cut near the notch of the HG will help, like these:






Also look for any numbers/letters stamped inside the trigger housing area of the stock, like this:






Pictures needed of the stock would include:
The flat bottom profile.
The milling inside the stocks op slide channel.
Overhead pictures of where the trigger housing sits in also need.
A couple of views of the bottom of the stock at the escutcheon nut area.

Keep in mind that a few makers used the 3 holes under the buttplate.
M-U marked stocks are 3 hole and have a rather large M that could be thought of as a W.
SC-B are 3 hole, plus have a large B.
I don't recall the numbers of holes under the RMC stocks, but do know the RMC made for IBM stocks have a large B, randomly stamped.

More pics needed, hope we can be of more help.

Cheers,
