Are the replacement stocks new/unused or installed during rebuild? On the as new replacement stocks I have there are no identifying marks.
Square cut recess would be for a RA stock. Round recess would be for an SC stock.
If you have an original SC stock, there will be sub-inspector stamp on the underside with a number inside a diamond, which is unique to the SC stock.....

A replacement stock would not have the markings as applied to original stock. The marks ahead of the triggerguard were applied during production.
Neither Remington Arms or Smith-Corona did any rebuilds.
