I recently received copies of a 1921 impression Gollancz's edition and a 1906 1st impression of Osgood's edition.

Those look to be in good shape. Congrats.

Did they change the book size after the first printing?

Not really, the dimensions of the book are nearly identical through impressions 1-5 the 1st impression is a bit thicker in width however due to a higher quality of paper, and just a tiny bid shorter but it's not really noticeable unless you have them all lined up.

Another potential item of interest for those fascinated with Tolkien's engagement with "Pearl" is this old post from Jason Fisher about the pre-publication circulation of Tolkien's manuscript translation of Pearl. It includes some quotes from correspondence with Norman Davis and Christopher Tolkien about Tolkien's translation.
