There are at least 15 variations in the format of the pages on which pictures were printed, with most baseball photos appearing in at least two or three different formats.

Parade Sportive has almost twice as many basic hockey photos as baseball, some 73 different plus three spelling variations. Boxing has 20 different basic photos, with wrestling a little more than half of boxing. Parade Sportive also has tennis, ice skating, skiing, motocross, cycling, track and field, racquetball, ping pong, and golf pictures. Again, all Parade Sportive photos can appear on various different formatted pages (up to 15 different types) including as pages of pamphlets it issued.

Parade Sportive voiced by Paul Stuart was a radio show broadcast from 1944 to 1948 on four Montreal area stations, most of which were owned by newspapers. In addition to having pictures inserted in various newspapers to promote the radio show, they were available as souvenirs at the stations and were sold by series or in larger groups. By 1946, over individual 70,000 complementary ones had been given away with many more sold.

I am looking for any versions of the pamphlet called "La Revue de la Parade Sportive" in which various photos were periodically run. Let me know if you have one, or at least the covers. Maybe you can provide scans?
