You can take it up with Steven Hack if you like... but I think it's understandable that this costume design has been understood to be the Broadway Carbucketty when an original Broadway cast member has explicitly said so!

You're probably right, and the "George" design was used as a swing costume (it almost certainly pre-dated Steven Hack's involvement in the show, but I don't know, revisions may well have been made with him in mind.  John Napier definitely added to and revised the designs frequently) and rather than explain the concept of a swing character in a show like Cats which clearly confuses people, Steven Hack went on as Carbucketty, wore that costume - while he was playing the role it was indeed a Carbucketty costume.
