It is Airtex, if that is the correct spelling, not sure if it replaced KD, but seems likely as you don't really see KD much if at all by the 50's. It could well be based on an earlier Gurkha version.

Out of more than 20 British jackets of various types, only one is big enough for me to get it on and do it up. Mind you a lot of the headgear I have is also too small.
Partly I think that the bigger sizes get reused, but also people used to be smaller than they are these days I think.
