I feel like Don brought Anna a picture of Betty when he came to ask for a divorce, but my memories of that ep are pretty fuzzy.

To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
Did they get the divorce just in time for Don to marry Betty?
Eta: me, too. I know he was all giddy and besotted talking about her, there might have been a picture but I'm not sure.

I think they got it before Don asked her, but yeah, I'm sure Betty would have noticed a suspiciously short amount of time before Don's divorce and their wedding.
Mrs. Real!Draper could spin a pretty good tale out of half-truths - we were young, he was going off to war and we got married in a rush, when he came back we hardly knew each other and separated but we didn't legally divorce until he met you and fell in love. If she would want to is another question.
I can't imagine what cover story she'd be able to come up with on the spot if Betty showed up with her divorce papers.
I can't imagine what cover story she'd be able to come up with even if she had weeks to figure it out. Isn't the truth the best "cover" in this case?

"Yes we're divorced, I don't care to discuss it."
Of course, Betty will probably lie and tell her that Don told her to come.
I would think the hardest thing in the box to explain would be the two sets of dog tags.
Would Betty necessarily think they require explanation? Her dad had WWII souvenirs.

I think that would be easy. "These are the dog tags of my friend Dick. He didn't make it"
"These are the dog tags of my friend Dick. He didn't make it"
That wouldn't explain why he had "Dick Whitman"'s childhood photos, but I agree - from Betty's POV, the Don Draper divorce documents are the bigger question mark.
