Several Avatar Heads incorrectly display the default Head mesh for thumbnails

Reproduction Steps
Simply go to a page where Head assets can be viewed. There is a nice chance that some of the Heads shown are affected by this bug.

Expected Behavior
The thumbnail for every Head that isn’t the Roblox Classic Head (or some other random test item) should always display its unique mesh, which is consistent with how it appears in-game.

Actual Behavior
There are several Heads on the Roblox site that display the Classic Head mesh in both or either of their 2D and 3D thumbnails, despite not using the same mesh in-game. This makes it difficult to distinguish Heads by appearance when viewing them on the site or app. Using the “Try On” button or using the Head in-game displays the correct corresponding mesh.
