I dropped a note to the folks at SABR (who have a bio up for Walker) to see if they have any info.

That's an odd one. I searched ancestry.com for Robert Walkers around Homestead Pa in the 40's and got two records for the same guy. No middle initial noted, only non-white guy with the name, Census placed his birth at an estimated 1915, 5th grade as highest completed grade, lived in Clairton, PA at the time of the card filing and the draft card had him born on 29 Aug 1913 Clover, Virginia, USA.
EDIT: for what it is worth, this what Seamheads says "Born: August 3, 1910 in Arbon, FL". In the meantime, put him at 1914 as a DOB.
