During the 1963 coup, Nhu managed to put together a counter-coup within a few hours. However one general, whose name escapes me, went back to the plotters, sealing their fate. WI he didn't and Diem survives? Since he has the nationalist creds that Thieu-Ky lacked, acknowledged by Ho himself, he can hardly be called an "imperialist lackey" or what have you. How does this affect the war? Since he's 62 in 1963, presumably he retires by 1970. Who'll replace him? Effects on US politics, SVN?
