I think this may be a combination of jpeg and upsampling. An 7.8MP image like this (not tons of fine texture) should compress to .5MB reasonably well, certainly without this many artifacts.

Hinckley visible in any of the images? To be really enc I'd also need to know where Reagan was in the later images. Ideally there'd be some sort of key along side the images saying who was whom.
