Interesting change here.
First, the left pic became a yak in the final version
And while they kept the changeling, they recognized it probably shouldn’t be the “new” changeling type

Unless however, there was a point in time before Chrysalis where the Changlings did have one. Or there may have been other Changeling hives elsewhere.

I don’t read the comics but I don’t think the holes could have been from the Starweral.
When exactly?
I think that’s already out the window.
But that fan theory would be contrary to the Changeling origin story in the comics.
Good thing

There’s a fan-theory that the “new changeling” look is actually their original appearance. According to this theory, the changelings we’ve seen from “A Canterlot Wedding” to “To Where and Back Again” are actually a corrupted form of the species, caused by Queen Chrysalis’s evil magic. Thorax learning how to share love rather than just absorb it like a parasite caused him to revert back to his “true self”.
So far there’s no indication the fan-theory will become canon, but you never know; it’s possible.
Let’s say you have a new background artist, hired S7, and you tell them “Give us a queenly portrait for the changelings”, with the only examples they know they are working with being the reformed ones. I could easily see that being a possible mistake.
It was clearly caught before the full production was made.
