No I don't.
I say "Major Lopez" from the Pakse Base photo more closely resembles Lamp Post Man than does any photo of DSM with which I'm familiar.
But I'll go the extra mile: I see not the slightest resemblance whatsoever between Lamp Post Man and DSM photos.

Jim, I continue to be less than clear. Permit me to try again.
It is NOT apparent to me that they are there. Based solely on image evaluation, the Old Tramp could be Hunt, not so much Holt; Main Man could be Conein and can't be Adams. The Lansdale-from-the-back figure: anybody's guess. Milteer could be the geezer in Dealey Plaza. Robertson as "Robertson" -- maybe, maybe not. Lamp Post Man as DSM -- almost certainly not.
In my opinion!
The funny thing about all of our back-and-forth messages is that you and I never have been less than all but in lock-step on most important points regarding the murder of JFK.
Here's the core of my difficulty with your certainty that "they were there:" Such an unwarranted (in my considered opinion) leap of faith endangers our greater work.
We don't need to see these bastards in Dealey Plaza to be reasonably certain that the National Security State executed the order to execute John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
The characters you see and I don't are, in Hollywood parlance and in terms of our greater work, dress extras.

OF COURSE they recognized the risk. Why else devise and implement so elaborate and long-lasting a cover-up?
