So here's a thing I came across, not sure if this relates to your efforts to find a cohesive way to explain the Black Panther origin thing... But I've been going through ever Fantastic Four related title and there's what I think might be useful information in the second story of (try to stomach the horrible art work by Herb Trimpe in the first story, ugh it makes Rob Liefeld look like Picasso by comparison)

It explains the whole rivalry between the chiefs of Wakanda and the Klau/Klaw family.

It certainly points that there are some errors in some later writers who place T'Chaka as being alive during World War II. FFU #1 shows T'Chaka as an infant during the war and it was his father Chanda who was the Black Panther during the war. Specifically and  incorrectly attribute the wartime Black Panther as T'Chaka. (I think it was a writing error, I have to double check if that was the case or if previous people who edited those issues and have mentioned them in various profiles were incorrect in assuming it was T'Chaka)

But I think this helps at least explain some of the perspective as to why Klaw assassinated T'Chaka because there was a long standing family grudge dating back to World War II when his "grandfather" Colonel Klau (I use quotations because the Sliding Timescale would dictate that the relation should be generalized) tried to steal Vibranium from Wakanda during the war and failed miserable thanks to Chanda.

Hope this helps.
