Barbour Tokito Authentication question

Good evening folks,
This is my first post, though I've been a longtime admirer of the community you have created. I have a request of this community if you wouldn't mind. I purchased a used Barbour Tokito jacket, and since I'm sure many of you also have the jacket, I'd like to check the authenticity of my jacket by posting some pictures and asking for a comparison.
Initially the jacket seemed spot-on, but I noticed that the Barbour Care label isn't squarely sewn on, and the printing on what I would call the Barbour Crown label (the label in the centre of the lining at the very top) runs into the border of the label itself. I'm nitpicking, I suppose, but it seems strange to me. I also noticed that the "Sylkoil" label on my jacket is placed in the centre of the left hip pocket, which doesn't match the placement of other Barbour's I was able to find pictures of online (which is actually what initially got me wondering).
I also took a picture of the tag that's sewn on the inside, chest pocket. There are two numbers on that tag, one a model number (which checks out) and the other, I'm assuming, a production run number. Perhaps that number matches one of your jackets....
Thanks for reading my post and for offering any help you can. I'm quarantined to the house at the moment, save for walking the dog and raking the lawn, so it seemed a good time to make this request.
All the best gents,

It is legit but looks like the Barbour Beacon Jacket rather than the Barbour Tokito Jacket. Do you have the zipper on the collar to attach a hood? If not, you have the Beacon instead.
You planning on taking the zip off the collar to make it SA?
You can see the collar zip on the top picture.....and the To Ki To label inside the jacket...
It's the TO KI TO.
The Beacon Jacket also has "Barbour Dept (B)" stitched onto the pocket covers. The TO KI To has only "Barbour" stitched, as seen in the pics.
I think you are good.
Noticed that, eh? True story
I hadn't planned to, no. That would make it SA, you're right on that. I kind of like the hood, though.
