The Second Type of “Action” Pose Teams came about in 1953. Nothing Changed Player wise but the Bases Changed Gone was the Fully Lead base that was a Staple of NewFooty Since 1929 as well as the Balancing Disc and in came a new base… This New bases were one-piece bases looked much more like the Subbuteo Bases of the time… They were however were smaller in diameter, and still had a lead component of the base was still visible from underneath unlike Subbuteo of which was all plastic. The Lead in the bases meant that despite the smaller size, the base was far heavier than the Subbuteo equivalent. Due to the Design and the weight of the Lead Bottom they were nowhere near as good as the Subbuteo bases as it was difficult to flick the figure any distance. On the plus side, it was almost impossible for the players to fall over if assembled correctly.
One thing that NewFooty’s Bases had in the looks department was the fact these bases came at times with swirls of a different colour within the base. Also the change to a plastic base meant for the first Time The GK rod could actually fix to the back of the base unlike the previous all lead bases…

Again the New footy range is hard to really pin down so this page is really what I’ve got so far page for Some more detail here on Peter Upton’s site:
