I've just noticed that the Apollo 12 crew example sold yesterday, the one sold earlier in the week, and the example I bought myself a while back were all sold alongside an Apollo 11 'brown moon' patch.

Is it possible that the famous 'brown moon' Apollo 11 patch that's sometimes mentioned as a possible early AB Emblem patch is actually also from Dallas Cap and Embroidery?

Looking in detail at the Apollo 11 brown/green moon patch and the Apollo 12 crew patch, both use the same black velvety background.

Turn the patches over and both have an almost identical cheesecloth backing.
The tails are also of similar lengths and are laid across the back in a similar way.
Finally, the long threads on the back (don't know the technical term) are distinctive, with both patches having colored threads running in from the bottom border for a certain distance where they seem to tie-in to long white threads coming from further across the patch.
