My unqualified guess is: "neither", and that they used the camera-ready artwork released with the original announcement about the stamp, and that the design got tweaked before production.
Nice catch.

Look at those bangs.
They probably got a cease-and-desist letter from Doris Day's attorney.

and the cancel seems to approximate the orthodontist's work (related, if not exact match). that's probably why the perfs are so straight
I asked a dentist friend about this, and he said he'd never seen a case where the gums were in such a state

Come to think of it, the girl in the stamp looks like The Gerber Baby. (*)
I wonder if they contributed that artwork.

One of my first stamp albums was a Jefferson album I got in 1962. I now recall seeing that very same illustration in the space for the Dental stamp and puzzling about it at the time.
I think album publishers used the initial announced design and failed to update. Why I don't know.

"Come to think of it, the girl in the stamp looks like The Gerber Baby."
Ikey got me thinking that I have a cover from sometime in the 1990s showing the Gerber baby, which I have scanned below. Gerber not only sold baby food, they put their name on all things "baby" related, including baby life insurance. They even produced their own actual "stamps" as shown in the second scan, a "Bulk Rate U.S. Postage PAID GERBER LIFE" stamp.

I think the illustration in the album looks like Patty McCormack from "The Bad Seed". "What will you give me if I give you a basket of kisses?"

"... I think album publishers used the initial announced design and failed to update. Why I don't know ..."
The original announcement probably came with camera-ready artwork.
Running out, months or years later, to shoot the stamp to update the album ... well, someone would need to notice, and someone else would need to care enough to spend money.
I am also gonna guess that most stamps look exactly like the camera-ready artwork that accompanied the original press release, so this is not something you'd have someone assigned to check for, year in & year out, for one-hundred-odd countries.

Auctions - Approvals
I recently received part IV of international postage stamp album, leafing through the catalog, I notice that between illustration and the stamp of SC# 1135 a big difference of the position of the girl head, on illustration the head is down and on the stamp is up, is this a variety or what ?
thanks in advance
