In trying to find an accurate picture, I saw a lot of refinished stocks of colors ranging from orange to yellow to brown and black. I can't say that all the VZ.24 stocks looked like the one I posted since wood varies in color. But obviously those guns have been around for at least 70 years and were used by many armies and many persons, so darkening and blackening over time is very common.
Your best bet is to look beyond the color and at the general condition of the stock for signs of sanding, oil soaking, denting, chipping, splitting, reworking, etc.
If the stock looks good in those respects, the actual color is probably not that important as an indicator of originality.
