Style and real or faux fur?

[Mad Catter]

I can see that the collar on this is real fur but the very short dark area looks far too uniform to be real but then again it feels like real fur.
Sorry, I suck at fur ID. I usually only ever find badly damaged ones that I make into sleeping bags for animal shelters but this one is intact and now I've got several like this. Tips for what to look for or how to describe it to properly ID it? The inside looks like suede but the entire back in one huge piece. The longer coat I have that feels the same is made from tiny sewn together strips. Neither have matting at the neck like I would expect from synthetic fur.
The closest I could find in the fur resource is beaver or seal?
No label inside. Also, the collar looks like it was originally part of the coat, not sewn on later.

Also, what style is this coat? It's not flared enough to be A-line but there must be a common name besides just 'short coat'? I'll post the longer one made of sewn strips after I know what parts I should photograph for ID help.
Thanks as always!

It's a jacket : ). Can you see inside anywhere? You can tell if it's real fur if you can see where the pelts are sewn together. It's much easier to tell if you can see the back of the fur. Even real fur can be super even and smooth, when it's "sheared." Maybe Caryn will chime in and give you her expert opinion. She's our resident fur guru.

If you see what looks and feels like leather on the hind side of the fur it's real and it's mouton. Can you post a photo of the front of the jacket please and provide the length from the back of the neck seam to the hem?

Thanks Liza and Caryn!

Liza, 'jacket' is kind of a let down, lol! I was hoping for an exciting new term for fabulous :-D

Pics for the expert, thanks! Still not the best pics because the only regular light I have in the entire house atm is the under-construction bathroom. It's bright at least. No sunlight at 4 am.
The length from the seam at the neck down is 26 inches and the widest part is across the bottom back from seam to seam is 24 inches. All one piece except a 'dart' just behind the head about 3 inches long.
In this light the other coat I mentioned with the tiny seams looks completely different now so I'll start a new thread for that one.

Thanks! Hope it is mouton, that's good news. Here's a front pic. Buttons are wooden round, pretty plain.

Thank you. It is mouton and this one dates to the 50s also.
