Please see my replies below.
Lets look at Lopez' description again.
Eusebio Acue Lopez described him as "a white male, between 5'6" and 5'7", over 30 years of age, very thin long face, with straight eyebrows and a cold look in his eyes". He did not think that Oswald was the man he saw.
Lopez said 'I believe it was not the same person ... not the person or the individual who went to the consulate... I did not recognise Oswald ... The individual I saw in the movie was a young man, considerably younger and a fuller face.'
That is what Lopez testified.
He did not share your view that Oswald looked like someone who was in his 30s, nor that he had a thin long face.
That leaves two possibilities.
1) It was Oswald, but eyewitnesses misperceived or misremembered some things about him.
That is farfetched.
You accept eyewitnesses' testimony when their description does not match Oswald's and now you will not accept eyewitness testimony that a certain person was not Oswald.
Either way, Oswald is damned and that is not fair.
2) A Conspiracy that was expert at forging documents was also mindbogglingly stupid enough to send an imposter that didn't look anything like Oswald. The Conspiracy were magically able to manipulate events so that Oswald had no alibi all while keeping the manipulation completely undetected from Oswald and his wife. The Conspiracy were mindbogglingly stupid enough spend the time and resources creating a fictional narrative that would undermine their lone gunman ploy. And the Conspiracy had the psychic powers to predict a parade route for a city that might not even be on JFK's Texas tour and that Oswald would get and keep a job that would allow him to be setup as a patsy.
Conspirators leaving evidence of their muddled attempts to frame Oswald is not farfetched.
An Oswald was meeting Sylia Odio while another Oswald was in or on his way to Mexico.
Either she met the real Oswald or he was being impersonated in two places at once.
Either way, the conspirators messed that up.
The lone gunman theory was a later development.
The Mexico City impersonation was designed to make the assassination look like a communist plot.
The conspirators could have had expectations that they would be able to place Oswald in such a location as to be able to frame him for the assassination, and that is less farfetched than Oswald going to Mexico to prepare an escape route to Cuba when he had no idea that he would be working in a building on the President's motorcade route.
