Is this the same shirt?
One has a horizontal hole across vertical shirt stripes.
The other has a vertical hole across vertical shirt stipes.
If you turn the shirt (with the enlarged inset) 90 degrees, the orientation of the holes agree, but the shirt stripes now match the direction of the shirt collar.
I believe their was a bullet hole in JFK's back and one in his neck.
I used the "Z" shape in the collar and the blood trail in the lower back, for registration.
Using these registration points, the huge washed-out/white area to the right of the blood stain is off by approx 12 degrees.
Explainable?
thanks,

Chris;
John Dolva, myself, and others, pretty well discussed the aspects of JFK's shirt on another posting.
The original hole/penetration was elongated horizontally, just as was the wound in JFK's back, just as is larger axis (7mm width) of CE399's base.
However, the axis of the hole in the shirt was made longer vertically due to the amount of fabric which was removed by the FBI lab during examination of the shirt.
So, pre-examination photo's demonstrate the hole wider than the vertical length.
Post- examination photo's demonstrate the hole larger in vertical length than in width.

P.S. there have been some excellent photo's posted here
