Here's your starter for 10: thompson-buffer-stocks-t4652.html
Drawings are available via the NRM Search Engine, that's where Dave's photos were taken...

I don't have any info on oval buffers, but these pics might help.

Thanks for the oval dimensions Mike. Now all I need is the size of the "clipped" portion of the round buffer. Thanks also to Dave & 65447.
Its been very nice today in the western part of East Anglia !

Clipped buffer size = 9" radius, flat is 6¼" up from radius centre.

Front face radius = 3'-3¾"
Rear face radius = 2'-0"
