Dear Walter,
You're right, McNally's opinion that the note was "highly suspicious" on technical grounds was ... his opinion as a professional handwriting analyst.
You're right, only a fuzzy photocopy was provided (by the KGB) to Penn Jones (or whomever), so that it would be impossible to say with 100% certainty that it was a forgery.
You're right, you're not Mitrokhin. Regardless, can you think of any reason he'd say that, unless he was ... gasp ... an evil, eil, evil CIA agent?

A new book written last year (2018) entitled " H.L. Hunt... Motive and Opportunity " is the story told by a very close associate of Haroldson Lafayette Hunt, the president of Hunt Oil and dozens of other big buck businesses ......
The associate and employee is named John Curington who I believe he is 96 years old, was employed as H.L. Hunt's right hand man from 1954 until 1969. John was privy to H L Hunt's private and business life. He knows nearly everything that H.L Hunt did in his life....
Curington presented to Whitington the author, a note, or a photo copy of the note.... That note is the "Dear Mr Hunt" note....
The 96 year old Curington told Whitington that Mr Hunt had that note after the assassination and he called the FBI and a FBI agent came and took the note and he never saw it again.
Question:.... If he never saw it again how could he present it to Whitington?
The picture of the "Dear Mr Hunt" note on page 121 of the book is a fairly good image ....and it can be seen that the note had been folded ( probably to enable it to fit in an envelope) Some photo geek might be able to determine if the picture on page 121 was taken of the original note, or if it was taken from a photocopy of the note.... I doubt that those creases would show up on a second or third generation photo copy..... So therefore I suspect that Curington gave Whitington the original note.... and NOT a copy of it .
