I suspect different places, different timber. Pine was not common in Australia before WW2, whereas the local native species were available and abundant. The stocks on .303 rifles made in Australia used, from memory, any of three different native species rather than Walnut.

Aust production was most probably a native hardwood, while in Canada, other species like pine or spruce or maple were probably the most available?
