What are the odds that a pre-Model 10 with a serial number in the 472,000 range would have the same (or very similar) grips as one from the 623,000 range?

When my father gave me my grandfather's pistol, it had some artifical stag-horn grips on it. They weren't very comfortable, so I replaced them with some Uncle Mike's rubber wrap-around grips (I kept the fake stag-horn ones, though).

eBay has some original wooden grips (the ones in the 623,000 range), and I'm curious if they're close enough to what would have come on mine to make it worth bidding on them.

Thanks,
Scott
