Perhaps the Blizzard design team decided it was simply easier to redo from scratch than to touch the old ones up. Leaving them in the resource files isn't something Blizzard is alone in doing. ;) I have a pretty big archive of old WoW beta screenshots, and I immediately recognized the female2 model/texture, so I can pretty much back Galivice up in his statement. :) They are noticeably lower poly models, first of all, and lack the polish of the retail models imo.
