They look good especially the red pads. Worth trying.
If not then I always use Pachmayr pads, they don't distort or go sticky like many others.

Not sure why the marker pen was used in the first place and likewise why they feel the need to mould those little screw position dots into the pads. Hope they don't intend them to be used as guide to drill (and butcher) through the pad for the mounting screws Confused

He did the marks with his phone.
The 3 dots are not noticeable, I didn't even see them and I'm a fussy bastard.
I think the light reflection makes them look worse.
Most pads seem to get the screw holes mashed up to some degree anyway.

Do they all have a black base after sanding?

If done carefully and correctly screw holes should be invisible. The text below is from Pachmayr pad installation instructions and the photo of an Old English Decelerator pad I mounted on the butt of my Oberndorf Mauser. I use a fine sharp surgical knife to carefully cut the slits and vaseline on the screw heads and screw driver shaft.


"Prepare to mount the pad by cutting slits in the pad for screws. To
do this you must first find where to make your cut. Push a piece of
wood dowel of appropriate size through the screw hole in the pad. When you push the dowel
through, it will raise a dimple on the pad face. All that is needed is a cut with a razor knife across
the dimple made with the wood dowel. You now have a through hole that is not visible for a clean
appearance.
Note: when inserting the screws through the slits cut in the pad use a light grease (or
Armor All®) to keep from tearing the rubber."
