Both are "as issued" by their respective manufacturers. I assume some form of American walnut. Winchester have always been known for the reddish hue applied to their stocks, where Ruger have always been known for their absolutely lack-luster "canoe paddles". It appears I got lucky on this particular #1. Although, to be fair, they do put a little more attention into the selection of wood for #1's than for their other rifles.
