For instance, Westbrook finds Wallet A with a discarded white jacket, takes it to the Tippet murder scene and does a photo-bite to associate it with the Tippet murder (perhaps Westbrook is Croy's "unknown man?" {It is a long time and dishonorable police practice to treat certain information or evidence from a fellow officer as from an "anonymous" or "unidentified" source}.
Not likely since the multiple wallets is most-likely associated with the multiple Oswald's following their scripts for setting-up the patsy. What if Marina was fully cognizant of Oswald being a spy and perhaps thought he was a flipped double agent working for the Soviets? His leaving his wallet for her would be understood as his going in deep and possibly not coming back.
I don't think the timing is right for any wallet being found in the jacket and brought back to the Tippit scene. I think that jacket was found after (I might be wrong). Edit: Seems Westbrook was over finding the jacket. Can't find an exact time but the vicinity of 1:20 is mentioned. So maybe the timing was possible.

Either way, the wallet is safely in Fritz' hand when LHO arrives at the station. I think that it might be important to remember one bit of data from the news story there, according to the news anchor in 2013, the footage of Westbrook handling the wallet wasn't aired. The Warren Commission may not have known about this particular bit of evidentiary theatre, or figured it was irrelevant, if no one had seen it. (Remember the WC in mid-stream adds a third bullet to its theory of the assassination when it learns about the published bullet mark in the curb and televised account of James Teague's injuries)
If Harvey was set up on the ground floor he simply had his wallet. Bentley would have confiscated this wallet upon arrest. If you read Douglass there's no doubt there were two Oswalds at the Texas Theater.
