It's good to have that timeline confirmed, thanks for looking into that!

Based on the behind the scenes pictures and scant screenshots from the film, it looks like they shot some of the water tank footage with the hybrid costume. This would appear to be the Daisenso head -- it has the same basic facial proportions as in this Ebirah screenshot.

It's much harder to tell which head is pictured here, but IMO, its proportions are more like that of the broad-faced Daisenso than Mosu.(Somewhat similar angle from Ghidrah.) I wonder if the spot on its head actually has anything to do with the white spot in this production photo of Jiras.

Incidentally, August Ragone has another, low-quality picture of the Mosu/Daisenso hybrid here, valuable because it shows the pre-Jiras form of the costume(s) from the opposite side (this just looks like it's been flipped).

But the head seen here and here continues to confuse me. Neither its eyes nor nose match either Mosu or DaisensoGoji (in either 1965 or 1966). However, as you mentioned before, it's very similar to Jiras, which we know to be a redress of the classic DaisensoGoji head. I don't have an HD version of the Ultraman episode, otherwise I'd already be hunting for screenshots showing Jiras' right profile.
