I note that on the first page there is a note that many were never
published, so the image couldn't have been scanned from the magazine.

No way to know about how this affects rights-holders unless someone
who actually owns the rights to the image can address it. I'd think it
unlikely that something nefarious is happening although it's certainly
possible given the state of respect for copyright these days.

Tina, you raised the issue and have been politically active. Perhaps
someone you know could address these issues?
