The Les Treasure (below) is from the same set (not mine, just an image I found online). The SGC flip says 1920, but I think that's wrong. I have noticed a some variation to the fronts and the backs, but I am sure David Hanvey can speak more to that than I can. I included the backs of mine for reference.
Yeah, they were from 1922 and had a couple of variations. As per your pictures, the cards had a red or pink border type front, and a border (red cards) and no border (pink cards) backs. The football players in another set also had a blue border. I have never seen the complete poster (art board), but I may do a bit of research into each front. I have seen a heap more pink cards (which from memory have pretty much all been hand cut, and complete sets) as compared to red cards. I'll take a look at some of the red cards I have at home to see if they are also hand cut (haven't looked at them for a while so I've forgot), and if a pattern may form.

I'll post some scans later.
