In the end, your assertion comes down to a "trust me" or "go find it yourself" point. The theory that all newspaper announcements came 100% from HI DOH in 1961 is unproven.
"And no, I do not concede that point #1 is a valid possibility. It frankly makes no sense to me whatsoever.""
Again, that's the point. How in the world could a US NBC, in any way, shape, form, at any time (especially birth)...be governed by a foreign nation or crown?
