Finally took a pic of the 74. I think I am going to upgrade to synthetic furniture and refinish the stock to match the handguards later.
I just refinished my Polytech blonde stock to match the handguards as best as I could:

This is how it ended up with a different grip for 922(r) compliance with imported magazines:
Not an exact match, but a lot closer than what I started out with.
EDIT: Now for some lessons learned.:
1. I didn't check the date on my Amber Shellac from the home improvement store and it was kind of unpredictable to apply
2. I wish I had used leather dye instead of Rit dye in the Amber Shellac. I added a touch of red.
3. Trying to dye the Magpul FDE grip according to instructions found on the internet didn't go so well
