I agree original grips

Grips are ok, but not correct on S174G there were wood grips, it could be replacement by remont, or rework.

I know but I haven't found original wood grips

A reasonable choice as finding period wood grips in good condition would be difficult and it's not uncommon to see 1935 made S84/98 with bakelite grips as refurbishment during the war years did occur.

They did use later grips on earlier period reworks (although that is not my immediate sense of the image posted of the "G" dated bayonet). The example here of a TR era depot rework is a Weimar era bayonet mated to a "K" date scabbard (plus), with a set of 1938 or later black plastic grips all renumbered to match (and refinished).
