Season 8 box artwork

There is something weird about this shot of Jack Lord on the cover of the season 8 box set, due next month. I'm not talking about the uncharacteristic smile. It looks like Lord's head as been vertically compressed a bit ... and maybe even horizontally expanded. What season or show is this from? It is very strange ... not even like Jack Lord! Go to amazon.com (http://tinyurl.com/ykvzpll) and look at the blown-up version of the cover. This looks more like Monte Markham!
