...the same thing as was reported in the quote at the top? The link doesn't show it.

There's a reason for that! But yes, it is. However, the supposed link to buy further down the article leads to a page that doesn't sell it, so I'm assuming Rebellion's efforts in that regard have been successful.

Looks like the "Heavy Armoured Special Cop" has made a comeback:

*I seem to recall a similar - if not identical, looking T-Shirt popping up before - on sale over in the US?

Not really.

It just pushed it underground, I've seen from two sources that Direct Collectables (a UK based company) sold them after 'pulling them'

But on the upside, someone ordering from eBay got a plastic necklace from a scammer when they ordered one.

Licensed product or knock-off?

There are no licensed 2012 costume pieces - the closest being the Planet Replicas Dredd badge, but that's more of a display piece.
