From a purely functional perspective, you may want to try shooting it with the rubber grips (Pachmayrs?) that are now on it. You may be able to shoot it much more accurately and comfortably than you could using the "correct" stocks.

That's a nice old warhorse! Have fun shooting it.
With my 1917 I've found that I have a hard time shooting accurately with the original stocks. I found a pair of Sile wood target grips in a LGS for $10. I relieved the bottom of the grips for the lanyard ring. The targets made my 1917 much easier to shoot accurately.
I suspect you'll be more accurate with the Pachs that are on your 1917, but if it were me, I'd hunt down a pair of original grips also
