Degas Dancer: Which Ones Don't Belong?

Below is the original art work by Edgar Degas, titled "Dancer Onstage," circa 1877, a gouache painting over a graphite underdrawing on paper, and part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We've decided to isolate the dancer and create a series of nine versions of this same dancer (scroll down below the original to play the game), and our question is: after studying the original, and then studying the nine versions, can you figure out which two of the nine are different?
