It does appear to be a kangol, possibly wartime on into 1950's if it has no slider pocket. Sometimes gently wetting the liner will bring out the markings

It has a slider pocket and I will try damping the liner and see if the print comes out. I think there may be a metric size 56 printed at the bottom of the stitched diamond.

Makes it 1960's or later, especially with the metric size, I think that is 70's.
