"It so happens that the January 1950 issue of Radio Electronics magazine
has a rundown on all the television stations operational in the USA and
conveniently, there on page 53, is a sharp photo of the KLEE station
ident caption."

I have the Feburary 1950 Radio Electronics, but not the January edition.
Just missed it! Anyway, TV dx was a regular feature of the electronics
magazines of the late 40s and early 50s. They printed pictures of the
test patterns in the stories. The webpage says American electronics
magazines were distributed in England and it would be easy to convert
the picture for use in a flying spot scanner.

Oh, well. The cosmic repeater theory is yet to be confirmed.
