They're similar enough that I don't feel too bad about making the mistake.
No reason to feel bad at all, this is what wikipedia says about it:
The Carolina Tartan was designed and registered with the Scottish Tartans Society in 1981 by Peter MacDonald of Crieff, Scotland. The design was based on a Royal Stewart tartan believed to have been worn by king Charles I of England during his marriage, giving it significance since The Carolinas were named after King Charles.[1] It was made the official tartan of North Carolina in 1991 when it was passed by the North Carolina General Assembly.[2] South Carolina followed suit and enacted legislation making the Carolina Tartan its official tartan as well in 2002.[3]

Yes the colour-scheme is different, in those illustrations of Carolina and PCES, and the proportions are a hair different, but darned if I can spot a difference between the designs.

It's all about the extra red line in the Carolina. Small but perfectly formed.
There had been some discussion of having a run of the Carolina tartan woven in WOB colors about two years ago. Peter, I believe you were spearheading that at the time— or at least part of the discussion.
Did anything ever ever come of that? I’ve been shopping around for a new kilt and have always loved this tartan.
