Krag recoil pad

Question on an 1896 Krag Springfield I've had for quite a few years. Has a standard sling dated 1917 and bayonet dated 1901, but is also fitted with a recoil pad that appears to be military issue. Have never seen another Krag at a gun show or advertised with a recoil pad. Any body know if the Army did issue recoil pads with these things or can I assume that this was an add on by a previous owner. Appreciate any info.
