I don't know it's just the stock, but I know what you mean 1955 dated letter guns do exist. I have been looking in the archives of forums for proof but have come up empty..

Canadians claim to have these.  I remember seeing about 5 of them in a shipment a few years ago.  They all looked 'off' though, and I remember thinking that if they were legit, they were done with totally different stamps than was normally used at Tula.  I wish I had saved those photos. :(

I think you could argue that this one is a '55 pretty easily, esp with all the sanding and the refurb XX's.
