The linked recipe calls for 10 ml (about a half oz) of allspice dram, and a similar amount of simple syrup; I cut back on the allspice and adjusted the simple accordingly. Lorincz's original recipe is way sweeter, calling for only 10 ml of lemon juice and 40 of simple: http://definitivedrinkingguide.com/post/62065227648/erik-lorinczs-one-n…

Stir, strain, up, twist.
These are Sam Ross' ratios. I've also found a recipe online calling for one ounce of bourbon and Angostura in addition to the orange bitters, but I don't know whether that is the original recipe.

Punch published Richie Boccato's spec from Farmer & Sons in Hudson, New York which specified a tawny port.
1 1/2 ounces bourbon, preferably Old Grand-Dad
3/4 ounce Jamaican rum, preferably Appleton Estate Signature Blend
3/4 ounce tawny port, preferably Porto Kopke Fine Tawny
Orange twist.

I can confirm the recipe that Frederic Yarm listed above is the same as in Gaige's 1944 Standard Cocktail Guide. Note that the jigger volume Gaige listed in 1944 was 1.5 oz. It calls for shaking rather than stirring, but that is one of those strange things about the period that is best ignored to follow modern practice depending on composition.
The original "Suburban" mentioned in the 1935 The Old Waldorf Astoria Bar Book is: 3/5 Whiskey, 1/5 Port, 1/5 Jamaican Rum, 1 dash Angostura, 1 dash Orange bitters. It is odd to me that the Punch variant of "Country Life" lacks any bitters, since there were 4 total dashes in Gaige's version. That boost in the Angostura aromatic bitters is what set it apart other than the minor difference in ratio of whiskey.

Allan when I tagged him on Instagram attributed this to Ron Dollete. The reference link is dead, so I couldn't see what the article stated.
Wayback machine to the rescue.
That article also credits Dollette:
So I like to always have a negroni riff on Caña’s menu. Makes it easier to realize my goal of one day having a calendar with a negroni for each day of the year. For the spring I selected a drink created by one of our members, Ron Dollete a/k/a Lush Angeles. More than your average barfly blogger, Ron trained with some real deal bartenders to learn the craft and Rope Burn is proof
Curated to correct attribution and update reference link. Thanks guys!
Build in a London dock glass and fill with hot water.

Stir, strain, rocks, garnish.
In Crosby Gaige's Cocktail Guide and Ladies' Companion, the recipe is 1 jigger Bourbon, 1/2 jigger Jamaican rum, 1/2 jigger port wine, 3 dash Angostura Bitters, 1 dash orange bitters. Shake/strain/cocktail glass. This is essentially Gaige renaming the Suburban to fit his chapter's theme which he commonly did in that book.
