Action Jackson POTA Astronaut query

[Jetjungle75]

I was recently looking at the picture on the front of the AJ box, and could not fail to notice the stricking resemblance of the AJ depicted on the box to the POTA Astronaut. In fact the actual AJ figure looks nothing like the diagram.
Was the headsculp of the Astronaut originally going to be used for AJ? Hence the box design. I know that he was going to be used for Don, but it was later changed to the Superman sculp.
Is there any documents out there to back this up?

This was discussed not that long ago.

I've been wondering about the helmet. Silver seems to be POTA 'default' and the most typical; yellow and white helmet with Mystery Man and possibly a few astronauts; all red with Alan Carter; blue and white from Dinah Mite; but I've seen a black and red I can't identify as included with any figure, unless it is an Alan Carter variation.

The black and red was Dinah Mite also.

Mystery (at least to me) solved! Thank you. It's strange that Action Jackson didn't get as many choices as Action Dinah.
