Do you think that it is possible that “various…and other identification cards” just might include the fake ID? It certainly could in my opinion. There is no reason that it needed to be specifically singled out and specified. “Various” and “other” certainly could describe it without specifically specifying it by the Hidell name. So in my opinion this, memo amounts to nothing at all that could be used to positively say the fake ID wasn’t there.
In this case anything seems to be possible.

By itself the memo isn't conclusive, that's true, but there is more circumstantial evidence that suggests the Hidell ID wasn't in Oswald's wallet. Paul Bentley, who took the wallet from Oswald, never ever mentioned having seen a Hidell ID in that wallet. The other three officers didn't mention a ID in a different name than Oswald either, for 6 months, until two of them (Hill and Carroll) suddenly started to vaguely "remember" hearing something about it. DPD forgot to photograph the wallet and it's content.
All this suggestes that the fake Hidell ID either wasn't a vital piece of evidence to the DPD or, alternatively, it simply wasn't there when Oswald was arrested.
