How and why is this document different? I must have missed that. http://file.walagata.com/w/the-salamander/mombasa_copy.jpg

It looks like the same document to me, only one image shows it with a perforated edge and a tear in the upper right, whereas the other does not.

Sorry if there is some no-brainer, obvious answer to this, but why wouldn’t they both be torn? Where did the torn document come from? For that matter, where did the other one come from?
Here’s an explanation: The original copy was in poor shape. It was copied, then both were folded together and put away. That’s why they appear to have similar folds. Also, the fresher copy has the cigarette burn scar, but as a copy of the actual cigarette scar on the older version.
No we already figured out the older looking one is a total fake.
