The iron on patch was only used in 1 game (11/6 vs Rams). Decision was made to honor Halas with a patch but one could not be sourced fast enough but the iron on one was. I bet that whomever created it, might have missed what the team wanted, which was a football with GHS initials in it.
Equipment staff tried removing the iron on patch after the Rams game but it left glue residue on the jersey and instead of scrapping the jerseys, they decided to sew a jersey material patch over the area where the patch was.

I own the only known jersey with the iron on patch still on the jersey. It must have been at the bottom of the pile and some staffer decided to just cover the patch without removing it. I also own several jerseys from that season that have the patch removed and the area covered with jersey material.

This jersey look all correct to me. Whoever winds up with it, will have an amazing jersey! One of handful photomatched Sweetness jerseys...

On a side note, McMahon did not have a patch ironed on in the Rams game:
