This is a big find, worthy of celebration:
“I’ve been told that some people confused Billy Lovelady with Oswald, but Lovelady was much heavier and, even though Oswald’s hair was thinning, Billy’s was about all gone up there.” Roy Lewis (Larry Snead, No More Silence: An oral history of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy)
That is Roy Lewis talking, confirming that Lovelady was MUCH heavier than Oswald. And we know how much: Lovelady was 5'8" 170 pounds as of February 29, while on the day of the assassination 5'9" Oswald weighed a mere 131.
That is skinny! I'm 5'6" and weigh 138, and I'm lean.
But, Roy said that Billy's hair was "about all gone up there." Do you know what that means? It means that we can count on the image that Mark Lane took of Lovelady.
That's it. That is all the hair that Lovelady had at the time of the assassination. Therefore, I am right that they mistakenly used the image of him from the 1950s to fashion Doorman's hairline.
That is a bogus hairline on the right. They used the hairline on the left to produce it. It's obviously not Oswald's hairline, but it isn't 1963 Lovelady's either. Lovelady was much balder than that in late 1963, which you know from the picture that Mark Lane snuck in the winter of 1964. And it also means that this hairline on the right is bogus.
These images were taken at approximately the same time, and it is possible that they were taken on the same day. Mark Lane had somebody tracking Lovelady, and he may have known about Lovelady's FBI appointment on Feb 29 and followed him there. You can see the heavy coat Lovelady was wearing. It was winter. But FBI Lovelady has much more hair than Mark Lane Lovelady. Why? Because they filled it in to match the con job they did on Doorman. They converted Doorman's hairline to that of 1950s Lovelady, so they had to do the same for 1964 Lovelady to keep the ruse going.
So, of these three hairlines, the only one that is real is the one on the left. The other two were modeled after it. And that's why FBI Lovelady's hair is so short. When you start adding fake hair, it's best to keep it short. If you try to add strands, it's going to look fake.
