Statue of the Unsung

Its highly likely the Allagans mutilated them to fit the Coils on him properly, if it isn't just a Dragon->Primal change

I can imagine mutilating to remove a a couple horns, I can't imagine mutilating to change the shape and position...

4's horns are not on its head. They run along the side of its head, seemingly coming from its brow. Bahamut's horns, be it in minion, primal or furniture form, are on top of its head, like 6, and what's more, the depictions of the horns are exactly the same shape as 6's. 4's are not; they don't even reach into a point.

They really aren't... Just look at this;


The horn shape and position there is completely different from 6... I'm not sure what else I can say, we're just going to have to agree to disagree at this point... Bahamuts horns are not remotely close to as curvy as 6s and they certainly don't go anywhere near his face like 6s... At this point I'm likely to just completely disregard the minion because it's a minion... It doesn't even have claws on its hands, it is so far from a proper depiction that I really don't think it can be used here... Even the minions horns don't come remotely close to being in the same position as 6s, though... Both the Primal and the minion have horns that grow back, while 6 has horns that grew forward then curved back, that is a major difference and I'm not sure how I can make this any clearer...

That or the Ascian-summoned version of Bahamut deviated in appearance somewhat from the original Bahamut. Tiamat called it "a mockery of my beloved."

Which means nothing... If you want to use that line of argument to explain away any differences between Bahamut and 6, you're aware I can do the exact same thing in relation to 4, right?

Again, the biggest issue here is the angle. We're viewing 4 from above and as such we cannot adequately judge his horns. We can clearly judge 6s horns though, and they curve over his face, completely unlike Bahamuts. Meanwhile what we can tell from 4s horns is that they go back along his head, like Bahamuts...
