1942 MLB Health patch

[genius]

When I first saw this patch I thought it had to be a replacement because it's in such good condition but then I saw some closeup photos on uniwatch and it seems to match up almost perfectly if not perfectly from the stitching to the pattern on the white part of the shield and the color (difference in the photo is due to light) and upon closer inspection there's no outline of another patch on the interior sleeve. It's a very soft and bendable patch. Any thoughts/opinions on whether it might actually be original would be appreciated. Thanks!
