But it appears that the Steagles used elements of both the Eagles (helmet, jersey) and Steelers (pants, socks) uniforms.
Which is correct?

If no one else can help, send me a pm and I can reach out to Larry from GUD for you. I'm on another board that he's on.

Re: 1943 Steagles uniform question
Yeah I was going to say the photo definitely doesn't look like it was taken in the '40's and those guys in the photos definitely don't look like people who lived in the 40's. And that modern day truck there in the background definitely gives it away.
I do wonder what the purpose for them creating that image was for though. That would be interesting to find out. Definitely was an amateur job though as they didn't even bother to make sure the truck was out of the photo.

FWIW, this is the photo that shows up on both the Eagles and the Steelers websites as the '43 Steagles starters:
