Not sure how “canon” that story was, or even what Streaky’s backstory at this point could possibly be. Post-Crisis Supergirl didn’t have a super powered cat to my recollection.

Streaky was a great Silver Age counterpart to Krypto. He's fun in stories aimed more at the Sesame Street crowd, but may be a bit too out there for current continuity. That said -- I'm definitely a fan.

I saw Streaky in those original stories by Siegel as a sort of representation for Kara's childhood innocence. Siegel was putting Kara through an emotional wringer all the time in those stories, so Streaky was both a breath of lightheartedness and also pretty touching when he saved Kara from manipulative adults in her life. Probably the reason why he stopped being a super-powered cat in those stories once Kara got adopted by the Danvers: there was no longer any need for that sort of role in her life. She was happy, finally.

I think it's a throwback to her last pre-Crisis suit just before she died. Which had something similar. This one is more or less that without the headband.

Either that or just a way to differentiate her old suit from Jon’s current one

Well, it was common for Supergirl to use different variatons of her suit, so a minor tweak like that must be not be an anomaly.
