Hi Big T,

You've probably already figured what it is not, which is a typical unaltered Krag rifle/carbine stock.

Short rifle stocks were remanufactured by various surplus dealers in the late 1920s and 1930s like W. Stokes Kirk and Francis Bannerman.

IMHO: it could possibly be a W. Kirk Stokes modification for their short Krag rifle.

Sorry Big T but I wish I had the actual measurement of Stokes short rifle stock.
