Default Replace pad?

This Olin/Kodensha’s original recoil pad has aged into a rock. It’s not critical, as I won’t be shooting enough to have a purple shoulder. However, it seems there aren’t any exact replacements available other than USRAC.
Midway has the Galazan prewar grind to fit with the plugs, probably a Silver’s copy. The old boy in the UK has retired, so obtaining the original Silver pad is challenging. What says the collective? Leave as be or fuss about a replacement

IMO a Silver’s type pad is going to look out of place on a 101. I put a black Kick-Eeze on my 101 Pigeon Grade and it looks good and works well. Kick-Eeze also offers orange color pads but they look too orange color for my taste.

That is a cool looking pad; it’d be a shame to replace it unless it’s absolutely necessary. JMO
