The typewriter comparison may be even simpler than that. If the Navy was using all IBM Selectrics in 1968, and Kerry's "source documents" were typed on a Smith Corona or Royal, for example, he will have some explainging to do.

Indeed. Though since Selectrics were rather heavy (and of course required electricity), I would expect some people in the field would have lightweight portables. But brand-matching could be interesting.

BTW, has anyone else noticed that the Lehman citations were clearly not done on a conventional typewriter? I wonder if that fact could help date them?

To get further with the typewriter questions, we'll need some retired Navy admin guys to comment.
