I think the bottom one, with the black background, has been altered to remove the striped background table cloth (or whatever) and the "artist" who was attempting to do so was using the wrong Photoshop tool to do it, either deliberately, or inadvertently, or ignorantly. The "tear" appears to be a "tool" slip... sloppy work.
No kidding. The tear is too thick to be a normal tear. There's a sizable vertical chunk missing.
I am a little late to this thread and I quickly browsed the 700 some posts. I noted Dunham divorced Barack Sr in March 1964. The document in question states February 1964. Could this be a document from the divorce proceedings?
