OT: Need identification of this C96-stock

Could I see a profile of the attaching iron? At first glance it appears to be a standard M903 or M904, F or E Model Astra stock. The Lug plunger on an Astra has a different profile from a Mauser and is usually numbered on the left side. The inner lid should also be numbered with the complete SER#, unless it was a replacement. As there are no acceptance marks on the body of the stock just below the hinge, that rules out a Pre-1919 military mauser stock.
