Yes the wood look very dark, all the No.5s I have seen have much lighter wood

Could it be walnut

Kind of hard to see in this picture, but best I have at the moment. I can see the grain is different in the two stocks, not considering the stain. Couldn't say what kind of wood the dark one is. Walnut could be what it is.
