Wow, what an incredible amount of research you've done! If you do manage to get the bust reinstalled, I'll be there to celebrate this installation this time! :D And thanks indeed to Bill Beckwith – what an impressive memory and record-keeping after so long.
Has anybody knocked on the blank panel where the head was to see if it is hollow? Maybe it is still there. Strike through the pasteboard, or metal panel as the case may be.

Great story, sleuthing and the writing it both brilliant. I'm hooked!
