G date S/42 Grips Question

This pistol is a G date S/42 but has grips that I don't believe to be original. I haven't seen it yet but they are brown checkered with what looks like a circular metal disc inset. Would these be East German? The seller won't part with it for inspection and lives some way from me. The magazine also appears to be an incorrect wood base model. Here are some terrible photos that sort of illustrate what I mean. Should I run away from this one?
