So it is not very surprising how features were just remodelled without trying to stay true to original. For example one m viera face type + eyes combo had an issue with eyeliner tattoo and the “fix” between two benchmarks was to rotate the eyes to match the tattoo. As a result they lost their original position, form and overall look. But sure enough - tattoo is now fine. I think only someone who was given a model as fresh with no background but a bug to fix could think of such decision as passable.
I wouldn't be surprised if they outsourced stuff, look at the disaster of a trailer that was EW's, they butchered Zenos' face (amongst others), hell his ShB trailer that showed only his eyes felt more like him. I think we might be seeing more of the outsourced stuff ingame now...
