I’m not a BP Agent but it appears it is a line uniform (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/19/us/19patrol.html?_r=0, http://www.teaparty.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20090108_102308_border1.jpg, http://hometestingblog.testcountry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Border-Patrol-drug-arrest.jpg, ).
If those are not line uniforms, what would be a line uniform about, what, 50-yrs ago or better. Thanks.

(”reenactment” is a key-word associated with this picture).
Staged.
Dress uniforms are used for check point, office and other more public admin duties. They are expensive, uncomfortable and prone to damage so the agents did not ware them when working the border.
I know that they did ware those funny British helmets for a brief time in El Paso Sector back in the day.
