This 2004 Documentary:

Premise: Asserts Hilary Koprowski while working on polio vax in Belgium Congo, used Chimps instead of Macaques aka rhesus monkeys and therefore caused SIV jump to HIV.
Key Takeways:
32min57sec: 1st cases of HIV appear around Koprowski's labs funded by Lederle
35min07sec: Is 1947 a glitch in the timeline?
35min07sec: 1932, 1946, 1950...  From 1992 Rolling Stone article by Tom Curtis
Although image is NOT from documentary, the year 1949 is interesting!
