The original KJV had the same books as the Catholic bible.
1826, when the British Bible society decided not to print bibles with the Deuterocanon, or as protestants refer to them as the apocrypha....to save money on printing costs.

Your source mentions NOTHING about "costs" being the driver behind excluding the apocrypha/deuterocanonical books. It only says:
All King James Bibles published before 1666 included the Apocrypha.[20] In 1826,[21] the British and Foreign Bible Society decided that no BFBS funds were to pay for printing any Apocryphal books anywhere. Since then most modern editions of the Bible and reprintings of the King James Bible omit the Apocrypha section. In the 18th century, the Apocrypha section was omitted from the Challoner revision of the Douay-Rheims version. In the 1979 revision of the Vulgate, the section was dropped. Modern reprintings of the Clementine Vulgate commonly omit the Apocrypha section. Many reprintings of older versions of the Bible now omit the apocrypha and many newer translations and revisions have never included them at all.
