I would think the hardest thing in the box to explain would be the two sets of dog tags.
I think that would be easy. "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.

She is 100% wrong.
I don't think so. She wasn't exactly taking the moral high ground by snooping, but she didn't break into his secret drawer with a butter knife the second his back was turned, either. She knows he's fucked around on her and surely suspects at least a little that he is again (we, of course, know he is, but even without that all those late nights working have to be raising some doubts even if she immediately squashes them (and what would she tell herself to squash them? Has he done anything to make her think she can trust him to be faithful to her?)). I can totally understand indulging a little peek under those circumstances when the keys just turn up in the laundry like that.

oh, I understand it, but it doesn't make it right.
