Replacing the stock will not necessarily add value to your carbine. However a USGI stock might fit better than the commercial stock you have now and may make it look more "original". Right now it looks like the hand guard is just barely engaged with the receiver and the barrel band is ill fitting on the nose of the stock. The commercial stock, Inland bolt, flip safety, adjustable rear sight and Winchester hammer suggests that it's a reworked carbine, not "original" as the Blue Book defines it. The good news is it does have a Type I barrel band (if not a repro) and probably the original barrel and trigger housing. The slide and TH internals are unknown, but to correct the rest of it to be like an "original" you would have to replace more than the stock. The sum of the parts would be greater than the whole. I suggest finding an inexpensive post war Type 3 or 4 USGI stock and call it done.
