I figured the changes were the side effects of years of getting salted. The coat is a much-darkened version of Mutton Pie's. This may also have something to do with the blazing Appleloosa sun. Salty's mane looks very sickly; the salt is responsible for the yellow-white-ish color. The spice from "Dune" affected the eyes; maybe salt (which, in Equestria, can get you drunk) does the same. The snout can be explained away as aging badly for 15 years. Not that both have the same cutie mark and tail style.
