The hair was a result of when Fox updated the '53 logo around 1976 with a registered trademark symbol superimposed onto it. It likely snuck onto the film gate during the process.

I’m with the sentiment that ALI likely recreated it from a different pre-1976 film source by digitally re-adding the hair and symbol as they couldn’t find the real one in good condition up until now.
