This is on a Fox that I bought this weekend . Don’t think I have ever seen one like it on a Fox shotgun. Plus it’s attached with Phillips head screws.

The early style butt plate and screws --
I haven't made a study of when they changed, but the early style was still in use in the 148xx serial number range.
Later style butt plate --
The earliest smallbore butt plates I've recorded are the later style.
