This is not gospel, but one way to gauge whether you have a a straight or slant receiver without removing the thumbhole stock is to look for the Norinco star logo on the left side of the receiver in front of the trigger pin. Ironwood Designs also makes excellent copies for the MAK series of guns. Cheaper standard combloc stocks can be made to fit with some sanding due to the thicker receiver. Expect to spend a few hundred dollars on a Chinese stock, pistol grip, and hardware. Also of note - surplus Chinese stocks are hard to find and quite expensive. If you want to replace the furniture with a standard AK fixed stock and pistol grip, you'll have more options with a straight receiver. These sporters were neutered - generally missing bayonet lugs, featuring welded muzzle caps or turned downed threads (or never threaded at all), and with thumbhole stock/grip combos which some find atrocious (myself included). $650-$1000 depending on condition, accessories, and where you buy (more expensive on GB due to seller fees, shipping, transfers cheaper in private FTF deals on Armslist and local forums) Straight-backed receivers are more desirable than slant/angle-cut receivers.
