Brian,
I found an enhanced version of the Couch film that clearly shows Charles Hester ducking down in front of the pergola, at approximately 7 seconds:

This work by Sean Murphy and Jeff Daniels, at the Lancer forum in 2007, is rock-solid and forms a critical timing foundation for Baker & Truly's movements, Adams' & Styles movements, and the descent of the west freight elevator.
I have been over this time and time again and am equally firm in my conviction that Baker & Truly arrived at the will-call counter long before Adams & Styles arrived on the 1st floor. The men therefore arrived at the 2nd-floor lunchroom before the girls. The girls' 1st-floor arrival "seemed like a minute at the most" to Adams, but only had to be 75 seconds for the two pairs to miss each other entirely.
The men were in the lunchroom when the girls passed by. And, importantly, the men arrived at the elevator shaft well before the west elevator could have been in its ascendant phase. They didn't notice it moving and instead saw that the elevators were "both even" up on the 5th. Meaning that Dougherty's police alibi obfuscated his post-assassination reaction to hearing shots. He didn't actually bring the west elevator down until after Truly & Baker had started up the stairs.
