Those are beautiful custom grips and all I can say is they are not Ropers but equal to Roper quality.

Is the backstrap of the gun's grip frame rebated (notched). If so the gun would have had the regulation police type sq butt extended grips with one screw from the early '20s. If it is not rebated, it would have had the extension targets with two screws from the mid to late '20s. Both w/o medallions as you said.
