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.
"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 mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

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"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"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.

well, he could say some stuff about how he kept the stuff when Dick died, couldn't bring himself to throw it out, etc.
How does he not know that the keys to his secret drawer are gone? And what happens when he realizes?

Betty put the keys back in his bathrobe pocket. He'll never know they were missing unless she confronts him.

Yes, his own. Why would he have some other guys tags? Why wouldn't they have gone to Dick's family? Dog tags are not just a memento, they are proof of identification.

Yes, his own.
Well, his own looted from German corpses. But would she think of all that or just think "war stuff", is my point.

If a soldier doesn't have any family, his CO might take his stuff.
