what have I got?

I have a 1929 production model 8, 30 Rem. I think I have a rifle put together with parts. I discovered it had a 35 Rem buffer spring installed.
I next decided to replace a broken buttplate. My buttplate is curved bakelite, 4 7/16 x 1 9/16. It does not have the circle in the middle, rather "Remington" in a horizontal box near the top, and then a series of horzontal grooves running down until the area where the bottom screw hole is, which is smooth. I have seen pictures on the net of flat buttplates in this size and design for the model 14, but not for the model 8.
I this probably the correct buttplate or even butt stock for this rifle?
