Always thought that the DoK looked to the DoW but made his mind up to go further. Hence the low roll DB, wide spread collar and fat-ass tie knot.
But am I being spiteful once more?

Pics I've seen of the DOK show a more moderate spread collar than the spreads I've seen worn by his brother, the DOW.

Re: Duke of Kent collar?
I dont think it's a specific collar, it's more of a collar style range. Shirt collars are going to always be different heights in back, sides and front and have a different space between points. So asking for a Duke of Kent collar is going to net you little. Requesting a modified spread in the English style will, while still not precise and always accurate get you further with a shirt maker.
