Hi,
Just bought a house and this stove is in it installed. I need to find out make (model is obvious) and if there is any UL info.
Thank you

If no label it could be pre-UL testing. Looks to be from the 70's. Kind of like a Fisher with a cabinet on top. Is that an oven chamber?

Cement board is not enough protection alone if it is directly attached to the studs. For reducing clearnaces there needs to be a 1" gap behind it, attached with non-combustible spacers and it needs to be open at the top and bottom by at least an inch for free airflow behind it. Otherwise, without any specs the stove is supposed to have 36" clearances all around.

Is the floor painted cement?
 
the floor is concrete. This is a berm home. I plan on getting everything to code. did one in our old house to code. Thanks for the link. The walls are concrete block under the drywall as well

If the wall behind the dry wall is concrete then all you need to do is remove any combustible material around the stove, to get your clearances per the link provided. Then finish that with stone. But to put cement board over the dry wall, then add in your air gap behind the cement board, then hang the stone on that seems like a lot of work. Depending on how they hung the drywall, you may be able to cut the studs and plate the bottom of them at the required height for the stove and attach the plate to both the cement wall and the studs. Or if your intent was to go floor to ceiling that would be even easier and remove that entire section of wall and go ahead with your stone.
