Ebay Prussian shako stitching?

I wondered why the stitching does not quite seem to match on the top and front visor of the shako, as opposed to the rear visor and side areas? Any thoughts on the shako? item 221095522829
 
Different areas, different leather thickness, different stitching... There's nothing wrong with this shako IM(humble)O except the fact it's missing its (Prussian) Feldzeichen (Field Badge), leather chinstrap and Reichs (German National) cockade, which would be quite hard to find as loose/spare originals, especially the Feldzeichen...

P.S. Welcome to the Forum! :)
