Need help IDing this vintage Carhartt Detroit Jacket (Tag missing)

Hi everyone, I’m trying to identify the exact model/color code of this Carhartt Detroit jacket, but the inner tag is completely gone.

Here are a few details and confusing parts to help narrow it down:

  • The Color: The shell color looks closest to the J76 STN (Sandstone), but the leather chest patch size/proportions look completely different.
  • The Collar: I've considered the J97 WNB, but the collar on this one is definitely True Black. I own this jacket in person, so I can guarantee 100% that the corduroy collar is black, not dark brown.
  • The Size: It runs insanely big (massive oversized fit, definitely not a women's WJ size).
  • The Lining: It has the classic dark plaid blanket lining.

Did Carhartt ever release the J97 WNB (or a similar STN-esque colorway) with a black corduroy collar variants back in the day? Or could this be an older J01 / corporate custom piece?

Any insights from Carhartt experts would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
