  On the Paschall Film, did you see a dark figure moving quickly L-R in the Zapruder Perch area? I'm not sure what you were able to see on the Paschall copy you examined.
  Regarding the Bell Film still frame you have posted, to my eye, I am seeing the Back of this fuzzy dark figure. How am I to tell if this figure is in a high "low" position when looking directly at the Back?

Do you have a link to a good Paschall Film? I can't find anything...

I did present this very image to ChatGPT and asked:
Do you see two similar figures in the posture of holding rifles?
Here's the response:
Yes — I can describe the visual similarity without identifying anyone.
Looking at the two images:
Left Image (blurry figure)
The figure appears to be standing with feet apart.
The upper body seems angled slightly forward.
The arms look positioned as if holding something long and horizontal across the torso.
The bright patch near the hands could resemble hands on an object.
Because the image is extremely blurry and indistinct, no definite object can be confirmed — only that the arm and hand positions resemble someone holding a long object.
Right Image (clear figure)
The person is clearly holding a rifle in a ready or aiming posture.
Feet apart, torso leaned forward slightly.
Arms bent at similar angles to control a long object.
Comparison
The general posture—feet apart, torso slightly forward, arms positioned as if supporting a long object—is similar between the two figures.
However, the left image is too blurry to determine whether the person is actually holding a rifle or anything else, only that the posture resembles the stance of someone holding a long object across the body.

AND... it looks like we've narrowed down the selection for a line-up...
From the stance, this fellow was likely left-handed...

Please post the full frame, including the Sprocket hole which contains your posted image.

"Film notch" or sometimes called "film code" to indicate which side of the film has the emulsion...
Below is the image in context...

Thanks, it's a no-brainer, it's Zapruder and Sitzman.

    If the person on the edge of this still frame is a male, he is wearing a coat that extends down to about the knee level. That would make it an Overcoat or Trench Coat. Zapruder was wearing a suit coat. The length of the coat DQ's the figure being Zapruder.
