The photo in question was taken of American-born Lee Oswald in Helen DuFour's ninth-grade classroom in Beauregard JHS in New Orleans in the fall semester of 1954. It was taken by classmate Ed Voebel soon after Lee's fight with Johnny Neumeyer. Here is the version of this famous photo that is on the CD that accompanies Harvey and Lee.
John also included the closeup below:
Right after the assassination, Ed Voebel sold the photo to Life Magazine for $75.27. Life published it on pages 70-71 in its 2/21/64 issue. Since the significance of Oswald's missing tooth right after the assassination would be lost on virtually everyone, I can see little reason that Voebel, or Life, would have retouched it. At any rate, the photos above can be easily verified against the published Life photo. It seems to me to show a missing tooth and an intact lip.
