Oswald was in a finite space in a compressed time scale. The photographer was already focussed and framing. The sound of the gunshot was instantaneous with the hit, unlike the Capa photo which looks like a long range rifle shot where the sound would lag the hit by a significant amount. This would cut Capa's reaction time to less than zero. There is a true saying that you never hear the shot that kills you. Anyway, I must state that what intrigues me most about this discussion is the various arguments to support the unprovable. Unless the roll of negatives turn up or a definative similar copy is documented it will remain a fascinating speculation.
