Bib shirts were called fireman's shirts because they were favored by fire brigades. They often featured nautical designs embroidered on the "shield". Billy's has an anchor, which was pretty common. The 2nd pic dates to the Civil War, meaning this style lasted for over 15 years...

The Kid usually dressed like a Mexican Vaquero in a white shirt, black pants & a sugarloaf sombrero. Those who knew him said the tintype was a poor representation of his regular attire. In it he wears a cardigan, a bib shirt & an unknown style of hat with a punched in crown...

In 1934, Dudley Nichols co-wrote Frontier Marshal, based on Wyatt Earp's bio, starring George O'Brien. Nichols then wrote The Arizonian, also based on the Stuart Lake book, but w/o crediting him. The Arizonian was remade, w/o crediting Nichols, as The Marshal of Mesa City, starring George O'Brien

The Arizonian (1935) is an unofficial Wyatt Earp film & it has one of the more artistic takes on "the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral":
