And a nice black unfaded rectangle below the date on this one.
This one has clearly been messed with by removal of its original label. Wartime Kangol berets are made to a set pattern with consistent makers marks etc. and all have the double line of stitching in the crown, which is seen even on their newer products.

On wartime Kangol products the makers name is on one line, some time post war they go over to it being on two lines.
