I think you are right with your analisis.

We don't have any problems with the story after the death of the outlaws.

It seems to me now that the question of the Nauglamir alone or not is related to the existence of outlaws.

But the only evidence we have is that the outlaws always existed (as far as I can remember, and the silence of the TY could be only due to the schematic text).

The only reason to consider is if the outlaws were to Doriath or not.
But taking only the Necklace must be only due to the loneliness of Húrin in Nargothrond.

So the text or notes X must contain a story without outlaws, and in that or those text/notes must be the only ones that consider the Finrod's Nauglamír.

Are you agree with this line of thought?

Greetings

When CT published Beren and Luthien, did know that C..TH existed, because C. Scull had show it him in early 80's (if I'm not mistaken). So, I wonder, why did he not mention it in B&L?
