Early patterns
I do not recall ever seeing the pattern in your photos, must be very early ?
The only patterns that I have are the red fibre Attachment 89986Attachment 89987

When they switched from brown to black, at first they used the same process, but a black dye instead. I believe the mottle black is the earliest of the Type D stocks. Later triangular handguards were made like the later pistol grips. I don't think they used the same fiberglass process in later A1 handguards.
I have never had a set this early and this mottled. It is almost as sexy as the brown furniture you have, but not quite.

early magazines
I would also think that the early or first production Colt magazines could also be used ?
The first type had the small CAL..223 stamp and the magazine body only had the number 1 in a circle. Second type was the same only a larger size CAL..223 markingAttachment 90548Attachment 90549Attachment 90550
