I believe G1 Tirek's tail was shorter, and his chest, hair, and entire lower half were the same color plus he didn't have that nose ring (in G1 his top half was a demon rather than a minotaur) but he still does have some resemblance to him, doesn't he?

Besides, G1 and G4 were established as separate continuities when they gave him a different backstory. In G4, Tirek and Scorpan are brothers, they tried to take over Equestria, Scorpan becomes friends with Starswirl the Bearded, tries to convince Tirek to stop his evil plans, and when Tirek refused, Scorpan informed Celestia and Luna, who imprisoned him in Tartarus. In G1, Tirek took over a kingdom and turned its prince into Scorpan. When he threatened to behead Spike for Scorpan's failures, Scorpan turned on Tirek and helped Megan and the ponies defeat him, ending with Megan killing Tirek with the Rainbow of Light.
