Game designers & developers aren't lawyers. If you're making a game for the USA market then putting in a character based on Mike Tyson would seem like a brilliant move.
I have no idea why they didn't change it for the Japan release of the game, maybe their legal department weren't scared and they still wanted their Mike Tyson character.
The localisation could easily have been done before the game was even programmed, or at least before it was first released. You can't draw anything about what revisions exist from it.
Capcom USA might have demanded a build before Capcom Japan thought the game was ready, so the first version shipped may have been a USA build. In some cases software isn't so much released as it escapes.
We can't prove that there wasn't an earlier dump, all you can do is try to find one and get it dumped. Good luck with that.
