I just dug ot my 6769 instructions...

The head was on the Officer with the double-breasted shirt and black pants.
It was sunstituted for the handlebar mustache/beard head.

In the instructions the other bearded heads appear to have a brown beard
like the 1st generation Imperial guard tri-cornered hat officers...I don't
believe any were red in the original set. (You will have to ask someone who
purchased a MIB 6769- both of mine are used+incomplete)

Your observations are appreciated.  I never realized the origin of that
minifig head.  I also have an incomplete Imp trading post from the first
eBay lot I won.  It seems I have one of the minifig heads I need.  Now if I
could just accidently acquire a couple more white walls, a Red Admiral and
all the other figs = )

P.S.  The Odyssey would be an interesting and challenging subject for a Lego
webpage...  Very cool idea!
