A collection of very good questions, most of which have no answer. There are multiple threads on these issues in this forum.
I believe that I can answer one of your questions, the origins of CE399. I believe that bullet came from a ballistics lab (or informal equivalent). There are multiple problems with its chain of custody. The first four people to allegedly handle this bullet would not identify CE 399 as the bullet they handled. The bullet is in very good condition, like a test bullet fired into a tank of water. The bullet never exhibited any blood, hair, or clothing fibers. CE 399 also does not exhibit the class characteristics which must be etched of the bullet from its passage through a standard MC 91/38, indicating that the rifle from which it came either a) was a different type of rifle or b) had a unique custom made barrel, or c) that CE 399 is simply a sculpture that looks like a bullet.
All bullets tumble somewhat. It is an inevitable part of causing the projectile to spin. Depending on who you ask, and why, people will tell you that the WCC 91/38 full metal slug is so stable that it acts like a "flying drill;" (allowing it to get through JFK and Connally) or that its propensity to tumble explains the unusual wounds and the unusual course corrections inside the tissue (allowing it to follow the path drawn for it by the Warren Commission).
