Well in MGS we only see Not-Master Miller on the Codec screen, that shows nothing but his face. So before he deliberately blows his cover at the end of the game, he could basicaly be missing all his limbs, have dressed up as a ballerina, or have his whole lower body made of jelly and we wouldn't know since we see nothing of him below his neck and we are never given any spesifics of what Miller's body build should be like in any game before Peace Walker (well okay, we know he was supposedly 178cm tall and weighted 85kg in Metal Gear 2, but that really isn't much to go by).

They did have full body artwork of Miller in MGS, though, so even that's not exactly a reason.
