These are two images of Billy Lovelady. The one on the left is from 11/22/63. It was taken on the 6th floor, where he had escorted the cops. It was Shelley and Lovelady who escorted the cops up there. They were the only two warehouse employees who were up there at the time. And Shelley was very skinny. So, this on left has to be Lovelady. And it's Lovelady on the right too, photographed in 1976 for the HSCA.
Notice how stocky Lovelady was in 1963. He lost weight afterwards. I figure he was at least 20 pounts lighter on the right. Maybe 25 pounds lighter. I don't know if he lost it spontaneously, or if he was ordered to do it, since Doorman looks so slender. And the reason Doorman looks so slender is because Oswald was very slender. He was 5'9" and just 131 pounds.
But, what I notice, as a former chiropractor, is the same postural habit, where in both images, he is sidebending his head to the right while also rotating it slightly to the left. It was a very deepseated postural habit, and I'm sure he wasn't aware of it. But, that is what felt neutral to him. And we've all got habits like that; not necessarily that exact one, but something.
So, this is definitely Billy Lovelady twice, and you can see that he was way too stocky and burly to be that gaunt, skinny Doorman, who was Oswald.
