It doesn't matter what the exact directions are. Everybody has been talking about Altgens being on the south side of Elm, Zapruder on the north side of Elm, and the Nash Rambler going west on Elm, etc.  They are not exact directions. The point is that if the Fedora Man who is in front of the facade is just an illusion, a parallax shift of the man who is facing Elm Street at 90 degrees to the limo, then those directions have to match EXACTLY. 

But first, the reason why Robin Unger wants to put the Towner Fedora Man at the curb is because it's the only way he can get his lines to connect.



You see the yellow line going right through the curb on its way to the facade. But the man had people in front of him. There is a woman right in front of him, and she was on the curb.



Can you see that there is a woman in front of him? Directly in front of him? You can see her face, her neck, etc., just like the others. So that means that he cannot be on the curb. And that destroys Unger's straight line from Altgens to him to the other. 



When you move him back a little from the curb, it doesn't line up:




As far as the facings go, I think we can assume the Towner Fedora Man was largely facing Elm. 





The limo is coming down Elm, and he seems to be facing straight ahead quite directly. But, he probably his head turned a little to his left since Kennedy hasn't reached him yet, and we presume he is looking at Kennedy. 



So, his body is at 90 degrees to the direction that Kennedy is going, but since Kennedy is still on his left, and hasn't reached him, he must be turned to his left a little- but mainly his with head turned on his neck.   

Here is the first guy by himself:




His head and body look pretty neutral. But since we know Kennedy was on his left, we can assume that, if anything, his head is turned a little to his left. 

But look at the other guy:




You're seeing the nape of his neck on one side. You could say his collar area. It's prominent. It's absent from the other side. It means that his head-to-torso arrangement isn't neutral. It isn't square. His head is turned to his right- and a lot. We are just considering him now in relation to himself. There is a break between the direction his body is facing and the direction is head is facing. That break is accomplished by turning his head on his neck- and quite a lot. So, he is not standing in neutral position in relation to himself.


And I realize that the car moved a ways down the hill, but how would the guy on the left have responded to that? Just by turning his head?  He would not have his body facing Elm and just torque his head. At that point, he would have turned his whole body. When we try to equate these two, it doesn't work.
