They were also sold under the Holton name with keywork like this - maybe Martin as well as they were all under the Holton/Leblanc umbrella.

You're best using cork pads as they will remain flat and you can make them the required thickness so they sit level in the pad cups when seated.

If you haven't got enough venting on the thumbplate making the F# stuffy (with the LH1 finger only), then reshape the thumbplate underlever to effectively shorten it so there's more travel and therefore more venting when it's open and still making sure it closes the LH1 ring key vent. The RH3 fingerplate is independent and you want around 3mm of venting for a clear lower register A (xxx|xxo).
