It appears to be more confusing than that.  Pedro and I started a cover
letter dive last night, and found the following:

In August 1980, Wilhelm Laurel declared that holders of Grants and
Patents were eligible to wear collars of SSS's.  In October 1980, he
rescinded that based on further information and *proposed* that livery
collars be allowed to holders of Grants and Patents with each kingdom to
specify the form that its livery collar would take.  If a kingdom did
not specify a livery collar, they would not be used.  From November 1980
to June 1982 and in 1983 no further mention was made.  Next week, we'll
look at the latter half of 1982 and work forward.

In summary, we have not yet found a currently in force restriction on
the use of livery collars, but the search is not yet finished.
