Mike, it is an interesting question. Steve, the author of the article would have an answer for you.
I had a look at my small collection of ww2 berets and one out of four doesn’t have the loose tacking line that you mention and is a Kangol. It looks like it was never there in the first place. I have also a Supak which has the line, so not a Kangol thing. I’m not sure you can conclude any conclusion on authenticity just on this feature.
