it comes from this widget on portal -> "Knowledge Article Content"
You can update the widget or clone it and then make necessary changes and then add the newly created widget to correct page
I hope you can take it from here based on your experience and developer skills

Both the messages have their own meaning
You do not have sufficient privileges to access this knowledge item ->means access Issue
Out of the box the portal widget checks the access and also check if article is expired, if expired it has it's own message
Why to mix up both the things when they are meant to be different?
