I suppose there is precedent in differing badges, even if it’s from a time when they were just badges, not communication devices.
And really there are plenty of real-world examples of wildly differing uniforms within single services, so it’s not that much of a problem - if you ignore the fact that for much of the course of established Trek continuity there was very little evidence of it!
... Aside from random examples, like the TMP uniforms (which were all over the place, and were I suspect an example of Roddenberry in his later years, being all happy-clappy, and seeking to play down the quasi-military trappings of Starfleet?) or the mix of TNG & DS9 in Generations.

It also makes sense for the crews of ships that "follow up", and for the staff of embassies, to wear a less militaristic uniform. Messaging is important.

I’m a bit late here. Didn’t have Amazon Prime for a while, so didn’t get to see LD until now. *loved* this episode. Best of season 1, and there were some GOOD episodes. The explosion when they went to warp was actually quite shocking. Also nice call back to use the little front section of the Pakled ship to be the ship they showed in Samaritan Snare.
Also some comments about naming inconsistencies and registry inconsistencies. Maybe they just build these older ships to the same design but 30 years after they first were released? Like they were probably still making Excelsior class ships into the 2370s.
