From a contempory history source (Facts on File, I've posted some stuff
from it before):

EARLY START IN CIA?

A Federal Bureau of Investigation memo from 1963 referred to "Mr. George
Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency," raising questions about
whether Bush had worked for or with the agency more than a decade before
being appointed its director in 1975.
   The memo in question was published in the July 16/23 issue of the
Nation magazine (available July 10). The memo, dated Nov. 29, 1963,
recounted a briefing given to "Mr. George Bush" of the CIA, among
others, on reactions of the anti- and pro Castro Cuban communities in
the U.S. to the previous week's assassination of President John F.
Kennedy.
   The CIA, according to what it said was "standard policy," would not
confirm or deny allegations that Bush or any individual had worked for
the agency.
   A Bush spokesman said the memo must be about "another George Bush,"
because the candidate Bush "was an oilman in the early 1960s, and in
1963 was running for the Senate." Bush himself did not respond.
   In the early 1960s Bush had traveled extensively for his oil-drilling
company, Zapata Off-Shore Co., in Latin America and elsewhere. He lost a
bid for the Senate in 1964. He was named head of the CIA by President
Gerald R. Ford in 1975 at a time when the agency was under scrutiny from
Congress for illegal domestic spying and other excesses. Bush in his
autobiography said getting the CIA job as a "non-professional outsider"
was a "shocker," but that he had had "some general knowledge" of how the
agency operated. Some members of Bush's staff, including national
security adviser Donald P. Gregg, were former CIA officials.


I'd like to add to this that I once read that one of the CIA operations
in the caribean (it may be the bay of pigs, I don't recall) was called
operation Zapata; the name of one of the ships involved in this
operation was "barbara".

I've been playing with these pictures too. Copied them on transparancies to
compare them. Although very similar the faces are not identical.
In one picture Oswald is smiling, in the other he's not. Also, contrary
to what is often claimed, both faces are *not* of the same size. There
is a small, but noticable difference in height.
