The butt plate looks repro but the rest looks OK.
Any opinions

I think your right. If I remember right some of the early repos had butt plates on them with just a set of numbers and that looks like it.
The rest of the metal looks right but not the butt plate.

The numbers are certainly shifted to the right as compared with my example. Good looking repro - if it is. The rest of it looks OK.
