I don't think that it's a Xerox proves anything either way. It's just unusual. They could have simply Xeroxed what was on the back of the photo before mounting it. Or perhaps they had two photos, and Xeroxed the one clipping for the second. Or it could be sign it's a later photo. Putting newspaper clippings on back was just a form of record keeping. Though you'd be more confident if it was an original clipping.

Clearly, the safest would be to buy it as a later photo and if it later turns out to be original, then you're lucky. I half base things on what is the sales price. If he wants $100,000, then it doesn't matter what it is. If he wants $100, then it might be worth the chance.

A simple question is does the cardboard mount appear old, sell musty? After all, 1961 was over 50 years ago.
