@wellerstein quick query for my book: When did it emerge that Kokura was in fact the #1 target for the 2nd bomb? I know in his famous report W.L. Laurence mentions "nameless" cities and a year later Groves was still killing references to Kokura in MGM movie. Thanks.

Thanks but only one of those that says clearly Kokura was for sure the top target was the "suspense" one which I presume was from book, which came out when? Like I said, Groves scrubbed any mention of Kokura from the MGM scripts throughout 1946.
All of them except the very first one say it was the "top target" or "no. 1 target," as I read them. All of these are from 1945-1946. Which is to say, info was out there for those who sought it, whether Groves cared or not.
