The later JOSTAM Sponge Rubber Pads show the original S.A. Huntley patent date of Apr. 10, 1917, Patent No. 1,222,291 --

actually granted after the Sponge Rubber pad was offered in the 1916 dated JOSTAM flyer I posted above which mentions a leather face.

The May 12, 1931, patent date shown on the late JOSTAM Sponge Rubber Pads, Patent No. 1,805,273, shows a base screwed onto the gun stock and other improvements to adjust the pad's resilience. Were any of those "improvements" actually included in the later pads?
