Hi Don and welcome to the forum from New Mexico!
I guess it depends on what you really want out of your carbine. I certainly would be sure the rest of your carbine is original enough to be worth the added cost of an expensive IBM stock. Like you say, it still wouldn't necessarily be "correct". Does it still have the original safety, rear sight and barrel band? What shape is the metal finish? Has it been through a rebuild? Is it a decent shooter? Perhaps after seeing the pictures of the carbine we can say more but my initial response is to hold off until more is known about your carbine.
Maybe the first step would be to fill out and submit a Carbine Club Data Sheet so we can see exactly what you have.
