Interesting, I have a 61A which was manufactured in 1941 and it has the hard rubber butt stock plate. It appears to be original so perhaps they were using both hard rubber and steel.
I too have the serrated butt plate on my 62-A # 153736 in short only.

My son purchased the second volume of Schwings book for me as a Xmas gift. After glancing through it, the checkered hammer was standard through WWII. The serrated butt plate is our anomaly here. Schwing depicted two types of butt plates, a checkered steel one for the first few years and then the composite one for the duration. He missed the serrated ones during the war years.
