I noticed this difference as well. Looking at the years of release, I presume
all heads of the 2016 version have just recessed studs.

I agree with my predecessors. Set 5004468 does NOT contain COL135. It contains
another minifigure, different from the COL135, composed of a head with hollow
stud, which we must create to put an end to the confusion (I propose a name starting
with HOL ...). The subject seems important to me, because the COL135 was valuable,
and its value has dropped due to the release in 2016 of an NON-IDENTICAL minifigure
included in the set 5004468. Some may judge the difference insignificant, it
is not for me. When I buy a minifigure, I hope it to meet my expectations. Some
may judge the difference insignificant, it is not for me. When I buy a minifigure,
I expect it to meet my expectations. A simple note "This minifigure has also
been found with the 'c' style head" is, in my opinion, insufficient,
because the difference is for me clearly established between the two minifigures.

I am not sure a minifig has ever been split over stud type. Usually it is a
run change within a set, so this might be a different case.

I have added
 
Part No: 3626cpb0833  Name: Minifigure, Head Male Brown Eyebrows, Eyelashes, Open Lopsided Smile and Teeth Pattern - Hollow Stud
* 
3626cpb0833 Minifigure, Head Male Brown Eyebrows, Eyelashes, Open Lopsided Smile and Teeth Pattern - Hollow Stud
Parts: Minifigure, Head
as an alternate part since this is the way how heads variants (blocked open stud/hollow
stud) are currently handled.
