Vanu Max appearance changing/has changed?

[Sturm]

I must say the first thing that caught my eye for Vanu was their awesome looking Max units.
This one in particular

Then I look at this image and I wonder if either this seemingly newer one is misleading or just at a bad angle.
The "older" looking pic looks alright but this pic just seems to say heavy, bulky and slow..Not what the Vanu are....
there are a few differences too if you pay careful attention....(obviously ignoring the color change from BEP's)
Its hard to tell because of the lighting but in the in game capture the head portion of the armor seems different; bigger maybe? Dunno what it is....

Did they change the model/skin or is the latter image the actual shot of a Max that is planned to be used for release? Someone please shed the light.
