London !?
Excerpts;
"... On first glance, all three locations seem plausible. In London, he is a night owl, working until the early hours of the morning and sleeping until noon. On the east coast, he works all the way up until the end of the day and then sleeps until early morning. On the west coast, he is an early bird, going to bed early in the night, but also waking up very early. Looking at this data alone, we cannot determine, beyond reasonable doubt, which time zone Satoshi lived in. ..."...
"... In summary, Satoshi’s activity on Bitcointalk and SourceForge, and his emails, all set a clear pattern. Using that pattern we can make reasonable guesses as to where the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin resided while working on the project. The patterns laid out by all the charts above clearly confirm the three most probable time zones – Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Eastern Time (ET), and Pacific Time (PT). ..."...
"... This translates to March 24, 2009 at 11:33:15 UTC-6. This date also falls into the DST period, but is obviously not Pacific time. It is Mountain Time (MT). States which fall into this time zone include New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. ..."...

Check the date format ...
Bitcoin.org snapshot 3rd March 2009.

Is it possible Hal Finney coded that client?
In your 2nd bitcoin.org link, Satoshi writes the word "synchronising" in the entry from "01 Nov 2008". Americans never spell synchronizing as "synchronising" unless they are being cheeky (my browser spellcheck even underlines the British version as a spelling error). And then he uses the european date format.
It is perhaps feasible that Hal Finney contributed to building these early wallet releases, however I feel it was more likely to of been 'satoshi'.
I somewhat err towards the Times quote in the genesis block and certain use of British English spelling by satoshi to be intentional misdirection.

It is interesting to note that the 1st snapshot for bitcoin.org in the web archive did not seem to capture (or save) the wallet images ...

03/01/2009 =
3rd January 2009
or
1st March 2009
Obviously the latter date format is after the actual date within the screen shot, although it is perhaps likely a LAN 'testnet' or mock up.
Another interesting point is that the 1st snapshots unavailable screen shots are respectively labeled;
screen1.png and screen2.png
Whilst the 2nd snapshots available screen shots are labeled;
screen3.png and screen4.png
Do we, for example, assume that these are the same or different screenshots and/or why were they changed or relabeled on the server ?

Bitcoin would not be Bitcoin without Hal. Perhaps in many ways Hal
was 'satoshi'.
However, Nakamoto is/was seemingly the originator of the code base.

In the initial days of Bitcoin, the software used IP address to send and receive bitcoins. For this reason the debug log becomes crucial for the investigation. It reveals IP’s of 3 users who were connected to the IRC. This happened on 2009-01-10. Satoshi and Hal were the only two people working on the project during that time. ..." [citation's needed]
I have researched these IP addresses extensively against old Tor exit node lists, old proxy lists and old GeoIP (maxmind) database lists.

How can I put this ... the true satoshi candidate had an internet presence before the creation of Bitcoin.
He (seemingly) later increased obfuscation and went pseudonymous, before disappearing after Bitcoins inception was considered successful (even unsuccessful!? See:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Value_overflow_incident) and/or because
he got spooked. The most likely satoshi candidate is in fact hidden in plain sight, if you know where to look.
He quite literally moved onto other things.
Who told you Satoshi Nakamoto did not want to be found ? Media mythopoeia and 'community' hearsay ?
It's now a complete farce! A total media circus! Why would the real satoshi even want to return?
