I was wondering the same and the 1978 film 'The Boys from Brazil' immediately sprang to mind. If this was possible in 1939, and that is a big 'if', would the different mothers account for the significant differences of height between Lee and Harvey throughout their life's? Maybe it does not work like that but I would be very interested to find out.
I suppose no one knows whose Harvey's biological mother was? I am assuming his 'mother' was assigned to him, like foster parents are? If so, quite possibly he would have been at least 5 or 6 years of age, i.e. after WWII, when he migrated to America from somewhere in Eastern Europe where Russian was spoken. Based on reports of his malnourished appearance this makes sense as the L&H article purports to his real parents possibly coming from Hungary, if you pardon the pun.
