Musical Willy Wonka coat pattern?

Hello everyone. I've made a Wonka costume based off of the one worn in the London and Broadway musical of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I know that it's a tailcoat that he wears, but I'm not entirely sure on the style. I do currently have a coat that I made myself using the coat pattern from a Simplicity Joker costume, but I'm always looking to improve my costumes in one way or another. If there's anyone here who can help me out with finding a pattern, or at least know the type of tailcoat, it'd be greatly appreciated! Below are some pictures of Wonka's costume.

To my eye it looks closer to a morning coat than a tailcoat - the tails seem to go to a more exaggerated point, but I imagine this would be easily modified on a standard morning coat pattern.

Just my two cents!

Hope it's of some help.
