There's a drawing by the name of "Ladies" in David's sketches that shows the chestburster as it looks while gestating. This work was done by Dane Hallet and his inspiration for it was Alien 3's poster featuring the Queen nymph but with a more detailed and closer look to Ridley's original. As the chestburster springs forth from Oram you can see the creature evolving on screen from nymph to young adult. I believe the chestbursters redesign is simply because of the modern effects we have available today as opposed to 1979.
