I'm not at all an expert on these, so take my cursory observation with due grain of sale. But I noticed that the 1910s-20s versions tended to have solid backgrounds (all filled in solid brown), while the later ones circa 1940s-50s tended to have picture backgrounds. I had some M114s of Ted Williams, Stan Musial and other contemporaries (obviously dating them to 1940s-50s), and they had full picture backgrounds like the above pictured Gerhig.
