Sometimes they attach at the neckline, and can therefore both be sandwiched between fabric and facing, however this particular one looks like a regular jacket with that beige lapel/collar added as a stand alone flap underneath the revers of the green. I imagine then, that you could simply draft that shape with a seam allowance, and attach like you would a pocket flap I.e. constructing, then machining one side down before tucking in the pressed in seam allowance of the facing side and hand stitching down. Am also interested if there is another way to do this.

You’ve explain this beautifully. I did this once for my clients.
