Has the guy playing 'Lee' In Mexico City ever been identified?
If you're referring to the suit-wearing, 30-something, short, skinny, blond-haired, very-thin-faced guy who was photographed a couple of times near the Soviet Embassy on 10/2/63 (iirc), that's KGB Colonel Nikolai Leonov.
He was Raul Castro's and Che's mentor starting in 1956 or so, and he was working at the Soviet Embassy as "Third Secretary / Assistant Cultural Attache."

If "Al Bundy", this "mystery man", had impersonated Oswald (and a child could figure out that that's not Oswald; it's not even close) don't you think the Soviets would have exposed this all of these years? At that time they said the CIA murdered JFK, they were behind the act. This impersonation would be part of that allegation, that the CIA was trying to frame the USSR. But they never said Oswald was impersonated. Why didn't they?
According to the three Soviet Embassy officials/KGB agents in Mexico City who met Oswald and were later shown the photo of the so-called "mystery man", that person did NOT identify himself as Lee Oswald. The man they met who said he was Oswald *was*, they said, the Lee Oswald arrested for shooting the president and not the man in the photo.
One of the above KGB officers who met Oswald, Oleg Nechiporenko, said the "mystery man" was a US Air Force enlisted man who offered to sell military secrets. Nechiporenko gave no name. Nechiporenko later wrote a book "Passport to Assassination" providing more details on the meetings with Oswald.
The account below is from Edward Epstein's last book. He interviewed Nechiporenko in Moscow. The "he" mentioned here is Nechiporenko.

The three Soviet Embassy official/KGB officers (shown below) in Mexico City at the time who met Oswald were interviewed in 1993 for the PBS program "Who was Lee Harvey Oswald?" They were shown the photo of the "mystery man" and they all said that that man was not the man who called himself Lee Oswald. They said the man they met was the *real* Lee Oswald.
The Cubans also investigated the matter and concluded that the man who visited their consulate was the real Oswald. They found additional witnesses who saw him there. See the book "JFK: The Cuban Files" by Fabian Escalante. Escalante was head of Cuban counterintelligence.

Dear Steve M.,
Confusing sentence:
According to the three Soviet Embassy officials/KGB agents in Mexico City who met Oswald and who were shown the photo, the so-called "mystery man" did NOT tell them his name was Lee Oswald.
Regardless, why would anyone trust what "former" KGB officer Nechiporenko wrote in his book?
Are you really that gullible?
Rhetorical question:
Why did Nechiporenko devote fifty pages of Passport to Assassination to bashing Tennent H. Bagley, former CIA counterintelligence officer and primary case officer of false-defector-in-place-in-Geneva-in-June-1962 / false (or rogue) physical defector to the U.S. in February 1964, Yuri Nosenko (who claimed to be LHO's case officer in Moscow -- LOL!), and vouching for Nosenko's "bona fides" as a true defector?
Why is Nechiporenko even writing about Nosenko in that book?
Did Nosenko have anything to do with Oswald's or "Oswald's" visit to Mexico City in late-September / early October, 1963?
Answer: No, he didn't.
So, why did Nechiporenko write fifty pages about poor, poor, poor Nosenko, and Bagley's heinous "mistreatment" and dum-dum "misunderstanding" of him?
Do you think Bagley (who was on the fast track to become Director of CIA before Nosenko "defected" to the U.S. two months after the JFKA) misunderstood and mistreated Nosenko?
If so, you should read Bagley's 2007 Yale University Press book, Spy Wars: Moles, Mysteries, and Deadly Games.
You can read it for free by googling "spy wars" and "archive" simultaneously."

I don't know.
Why don't you just post a link to, or copy-and-paste, an article so we'll know who you're referring to?

It was the picture I put on the Facebook group on the Truth Be Told group - Colonel Grigory Danilevich.
He was part of the missile group on Cuba in 1962 that shot down Rudy Anderson's U2 spy plane.
The following year a guy who looks like him is filmed in Mexico City?
(And he looks like Al Bundy!!)

Google's AI Overview response to my search for "Postimage Review":
PostImage is a free image hosting service that is simple and easy to use, especially for forums and social media. However, it receives very poor ratings on sites like Trustpilot, with many users reporting that their images were deleted without warning and they were unable to get help from customer service.
Positives
Ease of use: You can upload images without creating an account. The interface is simple, and it provides various linking options for forums and blogs.
Free tier: The service is free to use for basic features, including image uploading, resizing, and sharing.
No registration required: You do not need to create an account to upload and share images.
Hotlinking support: It allows users to directly embed images on websites and forums.
Security features: According to its privacy policy, PostImage uses SSL encryption and scans for vulnerabilities.
Negatives
Risk of deleted images: Many users report that their images were inexplicably removed after a period, sometimes years, without any explanation.
Non-existent customer support: Users have complained of receiving no response from customer service after their images were deleted or their accounts were banned.
Questionable stability: Some users have reported that the service and website have been unstable or down at times.
Potential for spam: One review in 2022 noted that the service was adding unseen spam links under user images.
Disruptive changes: Older reviews mention confusing or unwanted changes to the site's layout and functionality.
Conclusion
PostImage is a convenient solution for quick and simple image hosting, particularly if you do not plan to store images long-term or are not relying on them for important work. The free, no-account-needed service is appealing for casual use.
However, the major risk is the complete unreliability of long-term storage and customer support. For business use or for hosting images that you need to be available indefinitely, PostImage is not recommended due to frequent reports of deleted images and the lack of a responsive support system.
