The upper bodies (chest and above) do indeed resemble what we see in the artwork there, if you look closely the male is bald and does seem to wear some sort of mask....which is contradictory to his other artwork where he has hair and no mask...but there's something curious there.

Octopus' head is...off here, it looks very pale and...if I dare say, fake. If you look to his neck, you can see a more darker color skin being used, but it doesn't at all match his fase, it just looks really artificial so to say.

It could be that Octopus wore a mask even amongst his fellow members to give him a bit more normal appearance.

I do like these theory, it's better sounding then a whole lot of other theories that rank up into complete stupidity and ridiculousness. Haha it's cheeky isnt it? Saying that his primary specialty lays not in combat does not mean he cant fight at all, and since he is a master of disguise, chances are Kojima can say anything about his "true form" as nothing (except how old he roughly is) has yet been set in stone. Of course, there is still a chance that he doesnt cut off his ears and noses until after MGSV.

All things considered, I do find the MGS1 bosses impressive as a character and now, we start to bring up this always-forgotten Octopus.
