Hey Abyss,
I’m far from an intermediate navy jacket expert but I do love them. I have a GW Star 55J14 so far, which has a relatively small collar profile, particularly when compared to the larger collars of the early M-422’s.
I have noticed the navy’s collars seemed to get progressively smaller over the years, so perhaps keep your eye on the later war contracts.
One thing that’s helping myself to learn the cool details of Intermediate Navy jackets through the years is the ‘Better fighting garment’ piece kindly shared by @mulceber and @Lord Flashheart:

It’s great, comprehensive, I’m taking my time through it and already figuring out my favourite contracts.
