Thanks, very valuable info, I knew I had read that before but didn’t mention it because I didn’t keep the source link.
Reminds me of the point I made several times about the phonetic spelling of names, common to swahili and arabic.
Now the ‘Kenya forgery’ looks a little more kosher, doesn’t it? The objections that Helton Mangana is written as ‘Heltan’ is due to the phonetics, and the date ‘anomaly’ is due to the double format.

The Lucas Smith CPGH BC has lots of fascinating features, many of which have been clearly substantiated after the fact by Smith and others, while other features have yet to be verified.
Many of the features seem to be improbable for a forger to have included, such as the partial fingerprint (probably left thumb) visible on the left side of the image. How often do forgers leave their fingerprints on their creations? FBI and Interpol would have fingerprints of domestic and international forgers.
The fingerprint is consistent with a print that could have been left during the potentially messy placement of the baby footprint. If not a print of a forger, it would be a print of a 1961 CPGH hospital employee charged with footprinting babies. That person could still be alive (I hope). Intelligence services may well know who that person is, if real.
