I have seen/handled/have dozens of these stocks in the last three years. From my understanding, these were approved modifications by the waffenmiester during WWII through the bulletin the the government published.
I have only seen these on WWII stocks (no post-war), both wood and bakelite,most in very poor condition due to age/use. The forward sling mount on the bbl jacket of the receiver was fairly common also. Oldiron's note on the slings used is correct according to my info. Tom's stock was from me. I gave Folke two examples to include in a second edition of his book if he decides to update/publish. This is just my opinion, not based on hard evidence, on 500+ guns.
FWIW,
