I wouldn't say it changed from the concept literally, but still different in general execution as you imply.Then you have to look at how much the '94 mustang changed from it's concept.
The Mach III Concept shown at '93 NAIAS was developed in 1992 as SN-95 prototypes were running around covered up in vinyl clad sheathing. Like the '03 retro concept 10 years later, it was only to strictly preview the SN-95 due in December 1993 (V6 only)/January 1994 (GT only).
By October 1990, the SN-95 design was nearly a done deal, so it didn't really have an opportunity to change from the concept later on, since the Mach III wasn't the basis of it. The Mach III concept took the idea for the SN-95 design in 1990 to further heights. The New Edge design was completed internally in early 1996.
I feel the 2018 is a preview of things to come for the S650, especially because of the front end. The 2018 front end will evolve into the S650, with major changes elsewhere on the body (side, rear, greenhouse). I also wonder if we should expect a concept in 2018 or at NAIAS in January 2019 that previews the next Mustang.
