I had seen that done to some other grips but don't remember where I saw them.

Concur. Interesting that the little finger knuckle cut-outs are on both sides. Whoever did this was setting himself up for ambidextrous shooting with a single gun.
But why cut them down? Seems like this might have been an effort to create stocks that implemented the profile a T-grip adapter in unified wood stocks for a service gun. Combat Masterpiece or Combat Magnum? M&P with a short barrel?
Yes, ugly. But clearly the work of someone who knew what he was doing and took the time to make it happen.
Note too that apart from the knuckle grooves on the bottom, the edges have been slightly rounded. It's not a complete PC treatment, but it's softer than than the standard bottom edge on the contemporary magnas and targets.
