All of the salt wood stocks were Claro walnut, yours is European walnut. Claro walnut was often used for higher grade rifles due to the color and grain of Claro as compared to regular walnut. Very few of the rifles affected were Hi-Powers and Safaris, most were Medallions and Olympus grade rifles, which had the higher grade wood. T-Bolt rifles with salt wood are fairly common. Higher grade A5s and Superposed shotguns were also affected.
As to whether or not your rifle was restocked, replacement stocks did not have the serial number stamped in the barrel channel, most original factory stocks do. Replacement stocks have a date in a circle stamped in ink inside the stock.
