the original was all Sal. Romita Sr redrew the head as he did a lot at that time ... Stan wanted the characters to have a similar look for advertising and marketing purposes and Romita's style was what he wanted to define that look most of the time
If you notice, the first issues with this image as the corner box had a different head (Sal's) and then it switched to the version with the Romita head. Not coincidentally, that was about the same time that this image was being used heavily on packaging, etc.
