Also, after Magnum agrees to give Ron time to find Quang Ki, when it cuts to Katherine talking on the phone, we can see Larry Manetti just standing in the background at the right side of the screen, waiting for his cue to rush into the study. (00:34:10 - 00:35:25)

Then in the next shot, the easel back is inserted properly within the frame. (00:33:00)
