I think thats a fair accessment.
Its quiet possible that Schwartz had a good view of BSM when he turned and shouted 'Lipski'. Its a finally balanced POV. The Ally is dark, it it depends how far on the pavement BSM was at the time he turned.
Having given this considerable thought over the last year, on balance I don't believe that Schwartz could have had a good view as his description is of the rear (Broad shoulders). But thats linked largely to my belief that Kozminski came to the attention early in the investigation and was released because police failed to get a positive ID.
While I accept your breakdown of Stride being different from the other attacks I'd also add that she is Geographically different. Its my opinion that Jack met all his victims on a short stretch of Whitechapel and Aldgate High Street (Possibly the adjoining stretch of Commercial Rd) but all these pick-ups were on the North side of the High street divide, so Stride is the only victim off his usual collection zone further south down in Berner Street.
Many thanks for your comments
