The most plausible explanation to the different looking models is because the original AC2 the developers did not have the same hardware and software that was made available later. And for design sakes, the current FALKEN was designed to be "cooler" than it was previously. Remember that it did not had the laser back then neither ir was called the FALKEN. They used it in the new game to keep it as close as possible.

This was the same case in the Metal Gear Solid franchise, the Metal Gear REX from Metal Gear Solid 1 is the most powerfull and most modern Metal Gear , yet the Metal Gear Sahelanthropus wich was made in the 80's looks even more futuristic than the REX and thats because of the limitations of the PS1 had back when it was released.
