Factory or aftermarket?
Factory applied or after market? Factory applied would be great to know.
If you look close enought you will see two small slits in the pad where it meets your shoulder. There is a screw in each of these slits. It requires a phillips head to turn them.

It would have come with a hard plastic buttplate with the word 'BROWNING' on it.
No way to answer without knowing how it is attached. Best left to a gunsmith.
No, never. Browning did not make any recoil pads standard on any A5 except the Mag12. For an extra fee, Browning would install it for you at their shops in the US, but it is not factory and was not imported from Belgium with a pad.
Usually there is a slot cut in the rubber or other type of pad. You should be able to fit a small srewdriver down to a screw.
try replacing the but pad with a limbsaver and/or change the stock to a heaver one
Pull the rifle firmly into your shoulder. Fire standing rather than prone. Use a recoil pad. Change to a lighter recoiling cartridge.
