All credit to Philippe Halsman

Correct. This was Halsman's art, not Dali's.

Dali's zone was when he took money to sign thousands of blank pieces of paper that later became "official lithographs", prints, etc.

It's probably the only example of a great artist whose signature has no value. He squeezed money out of every corner in his lifetime.

If I remember rightly he also signed a napkin once in a restaurant then sold it.
