Thanks! (And yes--though I can't take full credit for it; at least two of the official novels had Illya doing autopsies!).

Which 'official' novels are your referring to?

There are two that I know of; one of which I've read/own--it's simply The Man from UNCLE with no affair subtitle (I think it's the first one in the series) by Michael Avallone. The other... I forget which one it was (it *might* have been the Vampire Affair, but don't hold me to that), but a friend of mine on tumblr read it and said that not only does Illya perform an autopsy (on a wolf this time--but in the one I read, he autopsied a human), it's also where we find that Napoleon doesn't have the stomach to watch.
