Is it related to WW2 era navy uniforms, like Donald Duck’s? Or is it some freak convergence?

The sailor fuku (セーラー服, sērā fuku) (lit. 'sailor outfit') is a common style of uniform worn by female middle school students, traditionally by high school students, and occasionally, elementary school students. It was introduced as a school uniform in 1920 at Heian Jogakuin (平安女学院)[9] and 1921 by the principal of Fukuoka Jo Gakuin University (福岡女学院),[10] Elizabeth Lee. It was modeled after the uniform used by the British Royal Navy at the time, which Lee had experienced as an exchange student in the United Kingdom.

Biden was in the Royal Navy in 1920. He was in his 50s at the time.

I believe so. They actually are called “sailor” uniforms.
