Who else apart from the body snatcher has won titles at lightmiddle and lightheavy, someone must have but can't think of anyone

Are you referring to his having light heavy champ LaLonde boil down to 168 so both the LH and super middle titles were on the line in the same fight?
Nowadays, that's simply referred to as a catch weight fight and nobody bats an eye.

I often wonder what Henry Armstrong would think about catch weight bouts?

Yeah, that's it, another example of Leonard abusing his authority, though I understand your point.Henry would probably relish being in catch weight bouts.

Not sure because I've never seen a catch weight fight with two titles from two different weight classes on the line
