Alas, I do not personally own any of the "original" copies of NGM for the period 1888 - 1907 (only the bound 1964 reprint set).<br />
<br />
As for the 1922 reprints, according to Roger Nathan's 1982 "Collectibles of the National Geographic Society", page 15, 3rd paragraph:<br />
<br />
<i>"Vol. I, No. 2 and Vol. I, No. 4 were reprinted in 1922 because of a demand for these two hard-to-find issues. The covers are of brown paper with visible vertical lines. The dimensions are 6 1/4" x 9 3/8". "</i><br />

Which issues were included in the 1922 reprints?<br />
<br />
Have you observed any March 1903 originals with the different placement of the ads, i.e. behind the front cover instead of in front of the rear cover?

Mel,<br />
<br />
Another "fun" aspect could be if you throw in the scarce, limited 1922 reprints as well -- then what discrepancies in ads might one find? (Maybe none at all).<br />
<br />
Alas, I cannot comment much on your ponderous ponderings (ha-ha) becasue I did not keep my 1922 reprints, and I also only have the 1964 reprint set (bound) for 1888-1907. So I cannot do any comparing at my end of things!<br />
