I saw this on tumblr recently and it turns out that unfortunately this was a prop for some war propaganda movie.
The link that you provided says that it's from Pathe Newsreels, which is somewhat different than "some war propaganda movie".
Seems legit? I mean, it's not that animals required passports to be on ships, but that they gave the little mouser one to make him part of the crew.
