Hmm. When the rifle was found there was one unfired bullet in the clip. That means the clip would normally stay attached to the rest of the rifle. Either Fritz or Day (I forget) removed the unfired bullet while still inside the TSBD. Presumably at that point, the clip fell out.
Normal evidentiary process would be to "bag" everything separately, that was found separately. However, the condition of the rifle had changed since its location, so there's no telling how it was "bagged". I would assume Day, who walked out with the rifle, would have also walked out with the clip.
Can you also put a circle around the part of the 1963 photo that shows the clip?
I thought when I read the title to this thread you were going to talk about how Oswald allegedly acquired the clip in the first place, since neither clip not ammo came with his mail order purchase.
