Jason-the real embarrassment of the hobby is that people don't do their own research and become easy marks for crooks. This thread has thus far brought out many interesting points but, I believe, has not yet answered the basic question as to whether the CdV is period. With Chris's good work we have established that there were probably two negatives from this shoot. The SRA image thus is from a different negative than the LOC image. However, that still doesn't say whether it is period or a second generation photograph of this image, or an image from another source, later attached to the Williamson mount(the glue to the right of the photo still makes this a viable Henry). I hope you are not embarrassed by asking questions when doing audits, if you do those.
