Thank you, Roger!
Considering the fact that Countess Kerstin Bernadotte apparently didn’t wear a tiara on other white tie occasions (for example below, seen with her husband, Princess Lilian and Prince Bertil at a gala at Stockholm Palace in the early 80s), I guess that the tiara she wore to the 1976 wedding could very well have been a loan.
Which is indeed odd – as you said, all the siblings did receive their share of jewels from their mother CP Margaret, but it remains a mystery to me what Carl Johan’s share might have been.
