I'm no expert on wood grips so I couldn't tell you either way, so perhaps I'm wrong.
My information came from information I read online, including this taken directly from Altamont's website;

What materials do you offer?
The materials available will depend on the gun you are outfitting. Most will be available in our super woods - Super Rosewood, Super Walnut, or Silverblack. These three are dyed birch laminates. We have experimented with many premium and synthetic materials and found these to be both durable and beautiful. We also offer bonded ivory, imitation stag, aged ivory, white pearl, pink pearl, and in some cases rubber, plastic, and premium woods.

Furthermore, if you check their selection of the new-style presentation grips, the dropdown menu only lists "Super Walnut" wood grips, with only the original "Coke Bottle" grips available in true American Walnut, and they don't look the same as yours at all.
