In summary, the ENT jumpsuit right chest pocket was an expanding pocket, with its upper edge flush with the bottom of the division stripe and its centermost edge equidistant from the jumpsuit's center front.
It extended all the way into the armscye, but not the side seam; its side edge was slightly diagonal (with the upper side edge being slightly farther away from the side seam than the lower edge).
The perimeter of the pocket was edge stitched to fasten it to the jumpsuit, with the centermost edge of the pocket folded in on itself to form the expanding pocket. The uppermost 1-2" were edge stitched again to secure it.
A row of topstitching ¼" from the upper and lower edges of the pocket embellished and further secured it to the jumpsuit body.
The pocket zipper was usually positioned so its upper edge was 1" from the top of the pocket and its centermost edge was ¼" from the centermost edge of the pocket.
The zipper length varied considerably, both overall and in relation to how far toward the armscye it extended.
The perimeter of the zipper itself was edge stitched.
And the irony of it all? All this variation, all these details ... and the pocket wasn't even really usable (unless the wearer had really tiny hands).
Here's what the overall edge stitching/topstitching technique looked like on the finished pocket:
