WaA135 proof mark question/id

Here's a odd looking WaA135 proof mark I missed and would like to know a little more about it. The eagles wings appear to be boxed with no lines in the wings and no swastika. I only found one on the web and thought I would share this one and maybe find out more about it. Its located on the bottom of the stock almost inline with the bolt disassembly tool hole. Is it common to see this one on MO 1943 stocks? It doesn't look like the other two on the stock.

Thanks
William

Look a little closer at the bottom of the eagle, there is a swaztika, well at least the circle that is around it. I can just make out the circle in pics 1 and 3. It is like the proof marks you find on a K98.
I`m sure there will be a better response on this as soon as some one with more knowledge comes on.

I see the circle but i think the swastika is worn or lightly struck. I don't see too many pics of the box type eagle wings on the web but I do see the more popular eagle proof like the ones on the side of the stock and behind the trigger guard on the hand grip.
