Interesting endgame loss by Scorpio 1.6X3 in RWBC(R12)

Interesting loss by Scorpio 1.6X3 in the endgame after
a game with ups and downs.
It seems Scorpio tried too hard to win and walked away
too far from the connected passers.
AFAIK around move 63-67 the game outcome turned therefore
and 67...Bh5? looks like a blunder? (Diagram 2)

BTW F8 thinks(haven't checked others yet) that 39...Bc5!
instead of ...Kh7 gives good winning chances? (Diagram 1)

Regards,
Guenther

Baron 1.7.1b7 also thinks Bc5 is best. It is not sure about the winning chances though:
