A forend that long would be really unusual on a pre-war gun. It was probably commissioned by an American stationed in Germany, which was pretty common in those days since sporting rifles were really expensive in the US. I'd also have a chamber cast made to confirm that it's really a 30-06.

You are missing the point that it can't be a pre-war gun since the action itself was made DURING the war. But yes, the styling cues are all wrong, definitely a post war stock and build.
