The switcheroo over to the SBT must have taken place almost over night, as it was not long after this that the WCR was released, wasn't it? Small wonder so many of the commissioners had doubts about the SBT, outside of the fact it was physically impossible.
As I recall the telling of the story (from Weisberg or Epstein..?..) it was that someone (after the FBI made their investigation) suddenly remembered Altgen's photo of the curb, Tague, and the accompanying newspaper article in the Dallas paper and forwarded it to (Rankin?) to let the WC know, at which point the SBT was contrived.
No, the SBT was being developed in the spring of '64, based on Kennedy and Connally being wounded too close together in the Z-film. They didn't start paying attention to Tague until the summer of '64.
I don't think any SS agents in the followup car would have blocked a shot from the rear, if it was fired from an upper floor. It might have been a problem for a Dal-Tex shooter on the third or fourth floor.
