They are saying one photo isn't even a photo, but a computer generated image after a virtual aging program altered a younger photo of him. In my mind, that's not possible. I did make a mistake in my original posting and in the label on the image. I misunderstood an important fact. The "computerized depiction" on the left was not necessarily released as far back as 2007. It appears to have been released at least after 2010 when the "proof of life" video was discovered. So, I think the answer is clear...
The FBI had these jumpsuit photos, and so did the family, but they didn't release them to the public because they didn't want to give the bad guys what they wanted (embarassing photos of a kidnapped American) but they wanted an accurate image of Levinson out there to help get information on his whereabouts if someone saw him. So... they doctored up one of the real photos with different clothes and called it a "computerized depiction" and released it.

Makes sense to me. |
