I have come across one image of another Aku Aku machine that was sold at auction in 1989. While it does have a theme to it you can't tell that it's a head, so I don't believe it's right either. It has a random jungle camo background with some stylized shapes next to the nose. I found that photo in a 1989 Loose Change by chance a week before I found the machine

That's no random jungle camo background! That's the correct paint job your looking for! It's seems BigBro and others have figured this out but not realized you've missed it.

The stencils are from the top on each side:

Eyes:

and then some tattoos below them along the cheeks,

with the nose stencil in the middle, see the nostrils?

Of course the mouth is where the money comes out.

This is all laid over the stone fleck grey paint, so there's your answer! :wink:
