As I recall, Custer was at the Maclean mansion that day too. I don’t know wbout Meade, and I can’t positively ID the others.
And Grant and Lee were seated across from each other across a much smaller table.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Also Sheridan was present. He secured the table that Lee used to sign the terms of surrender for Custer for $100US. About $2000 by today's standard.

Custer grabbed up the table where the signing took place, I believe.

And Grant gave Custer’s wife the table upon which the surrender was signed.

Correct! Didnt Custer make his way into a majority of Civil War Pictures?

Also Grant is wearing the wrong uniform. On that day he was wearing an informal officers sack coat uniform, not a frock coat.
