Everything seams to point to Washington or Canada and just like you said the BC is original, but a Dan Rather special, a total fraud.
Speculating here...If the child was born in BC Canada, how would SAD be able to cross back over into the US with a baby in tow but no US documentation? Therefore a Hawaiian COLB needed to be produced pronto that would allow entry for the baby into the US legally as a citizen.
Maybe I can answer that.
Our daughter was born in Canada, and 3 days later, I crossed the border with wee babe in arms, and no US documentation. All we had was the cute little certificate given by the Canadian hospital.
They did take us into the customs office, and make us wait quite awhile, and if I remember correctly, there was some telephoning going on. My bottom hurt, and I was tired, so I whipped out one of my breasts and starting nursing the wee one.
They cleared us very quickly!
I don’t know.
I don’t think there was ever that much trouble going back and forth to Canada like it would be coming back in from overseas.
The mother being a US citizen and the father being a Brit residing in the US at the time couldn’t hurt.

A couple years back during this debate in 2008, the general consensus was that the border between Canada and U.S. was hardly even patrolled. Plus, I doubt there was enough scrutiny employed to determine if a new mother had brought the baby across from U.S. to Canada and then back again.
I know they did not often check passports back in the early 60’s and I doubt they would even check a driver’s license.
