Real interesting footage that is cited on this bjj heroes article. I checked out those old kosen judo comps and it shows some guys going from dlr to x guard sweeps. Fascinating stuff.
I do agree that the refinement of such moves happened in Brazil under the likes of Ricardo De La Riva.
The Valente brothers on their videos in regards to history even point to how moves in modern jiu jitsu also have their roots in the past of old jujutsu/judo ne waza. However the refinement of such techniques have occurred due to BJJ.
Another interesting link is the photos of Okano. Oswaldo Alves trained with Okano and Alves said he brought stuff back to the Gracies that they had yet seen. Through those techniques various sweeps and guards have been delevoped.
