Not an expert but it definitely different from the original. Anatomically, I don’t think that a lamb’s eye faces that forward (as a predator might). The original is more accurate.

The “new” one actually was the original. It was repainted a couple of centuries later to give it a more sheep-like look.

I think people are reading way too much into this. If you look at many paintings of the time, you will notice that painters, even good ones, simply did not get the eyes and face shape right on a lot of animals.

It's the 'weird' one that's the original! and you're right, a lambs eyes do not face forward but sideways for greater span..............
