My 1941 Sauer has a stock with W/63 proofs. The stock and bands both have the serial number 7552 stamped on them, however the bands are proofed W/37. Did Borgeswalde provide stocks to Sauer in that time period?
CanadianAR, there is a proof low on the front of the wrist, I'll get a pic of it today and post it.
The top figure looks like a 9 with a u on the bottom of the vertical line. The bottom figure looks like a open top 4 with a serif on the bottom and a chevron beneath it.
The stock disc has a very small stamp [1/32"] that looks like an mx or mz. The m has the profile of an owl, curved sides.
The buttplate has the proofs GW3 and pa6w [the a could be a small 8].

From your description, the buttplate is a replacement part from the depot at Gustrow. The GW3 is the acceptance stamp and under that is H.Za.GW, for Heereszeugamt (army depot) Gustrow. A picture would confirm this. The stock disc sounds like it might be a replacement part also. Take pics of the stamp.
I can't see anything in your one picture of the wrist, but some better pics of the entire stock including all markings would help us identify your stock.
