Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

Friends, I've long been bugged by how pink Mrs. Madie Reese's coat is showing up in Towner:



But nothing like a Davidson Stabilization to sort out signal from noise.

That pink ain't from Mrs. Reese's coat. It chiefly belongs to the raised (unsleeved) right forearm of this lady whom Towner catches after she's raised it to wave:



I say the pink chiefly belongs to her, because Miss Towner's POV is giving us a blend of this lady's unsleeved right forearm and that of the lady standing and waving a few feet behind her. Mr. Davidson's stabilized version of Towner allows us to see the flapping up and down of the hands (to viewer's right of the object being waved in the doorway):



Mrs. Reese, in short, is being all but blocked from Towner's view by these ladies' raised arms.

That's the first important fact which Mr. Davidson's stabilized clip allows us to establish.

The second is that there appears, after all, to be just ONE flag (or somesuch) being waved in the doorway:

The third important thing the stabilized gif shows us is just how energetically------nay, urgently------nay, frantically------the flag (or somesuch) is being waved. Here's the gif at something close to normal speed:



Red Shirt Man in Hughes has gone from this-----------

to this------------

in lickety-split

Hands up who thinks Mr. Billy Lovelady did this!

[Alan Ford]

The fourth important thing that the stabilized gif establishes is that there is indeed an immobile block of reddish color behind the doorway flag, which comes into view momentarily when the flag is raised from right in front of it:



This, I maintain, is Mr. Billy Lovelady, still sitting on one of the upper front steps.

Look closely at the very final frames of this gif, and you'll see more white appear in this area behind the flag. I believe that this may be from Mr. Lovelady's white tshirt, and that Towner is here capturing Mr. Lovelady's movement as he begins to take to his feet in order to see over the damned flag that has just spoiled his view:

Note the movement of Mr. Oswald's red shirt in sync with the movement of the object he's frenetically waving:

[Zeon Mason]

Where is Oswald’s head? (In Towner film)
He’s got to be in the sunlight still after he’s moving a little from the west wall and unfurling flying flag display.

Maybe there’s a little bit of magical black out of his head?

Probably was too difficult to blacken out the entire Oswald along with banner,  because that would create a VERY weird black area effect.

Getting rid of the head would be the easiest thing imo.

They could not just “lose” all these films and no doubt the films must have been scrutinized to see if Oswald was in fact outside watching the P.Parade as FBI agent Hosty ( and probably the other interrogators also) had heard Oswald claim.
