I've similar thoughts myself, Doug. In most all graphic depictions of the impact from 65my ago, they show the earth's land masses as they are arrayed today! Were they using a paleo-map circa late-cretaceous, I believe it would show the India plate right in the center of the "anti-pode focii" and would go a long way in connecting the Deccan mass basalt flows with Chuxilub.
In like vein --but on the new close-up photos of Vesta, my initial impression was that there was a hump/bulge opposite a major crater. That taken with the "circumscribing (equatorial) crinkles" tends to bear out this kind of dynamics such that when a sphere is struck from one side it concentrates the energy in the opposite hemisphere.
