:
The Sligs in AO have a straight solid red visor where the ones in the clips in AE have 2 eyes instead of a visor.
Alf explained this.

Real-World Explanation: the 2 eyes give them more character and expression.
Oddworld Explanation: The visors played havoc with they're depth perception, causing a number of workplace accidents where sligs kept on walking off platforms or into machinery.

I'm surprised no-one's asked Alf about the extra fuzzle. I"m sure he'd come up with a funny if unlikely explanation.
