It won't be Pau Ferro. Don't think Gibson have used it... (edit. I see that is another name for Pau Fero so maybe it is)

Replacing the whole board to get it darker is definitely going to be an expensive way to do it and it won't sound better or worse for it.
I know historic makeovers do it, but that's specifically to copy more vintage accurate woods and specs. Very expensive way to go for minimal benefit
I do some fretboard darkening here on a vintage gibson board that was not as dark as yours.

Although on a complete guitar I prefer to go with dye for stability.

Can't remember its name.
Better than lemon oil in various respects and the appearance of the 'board is darkened and enriched for much longer.
