Shame about the receiver cover...

Chinese laminate eh...
Did China make a replacement laminate stock? Or, is it an aftermarket replacement of some type? I can see only one reinforcement pin. And it looks to be a spike bayo stock, so not a Russian.

Maybe not if the rest of the rifle is scrubbed.
Missing cover and bayo is good for a price beat down. PAX

The Chinese laminates are wholly different than the Russian, EG, and NK laminates. Typically found on /26\ 11 mils in the 11,47x,xxx to 11,54x,xxx range. Very thin plys, maybe 40 or so:

Where the Russians only used say 20:

Quite a few other differences too (some of which you've pointed out!) thumb1
Just got an email back from the seller. His words:
"I have original receiver cover with matching #.... stock came on it that way new from gun dealer probably 25 years ago"
So, the only thing missing is the bayonet, which can be had for $10.00 or less.
I didn't think to ask him if the stock had the serial number on it.

How much is he asking for it? It might be a steal FC! thumb1
List showed $450
Duh, didn't see it on the listing when I looked the first time. I'm getting too old for this stuff! dance2
