Mandalore the Ultimate (the name he takes after taking Mandalore mask) is actually the unmasked alien we see in TotJ: Dark Lords of the Sith #6. The thing is that this specie's name wasn't established for years, then the name "Taung" (that was mentioned in Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook) was retconned to refer to this first Mandalorian-specie. But, since TotJ Mandalorians were meant to be this alien specie. The retcon was about its name, not about the design. So it would cool to have some Taung specie as NPC's in the game.  

The unfortunate issue here is that the Mandalorians are obviously not unmasked in the original TOTJ art you're posting, and the weird Yautja-esque designs invented later are one of the more confusing retcons of late-stage Legends.

As some of you may know, on the first years of the SW EU (Legends), there were Tales of the Jedi comics (4000-3986 BBY) written by Tom Veitch (and Kevin J. Anderson since "Dark Lord of the Sith" arc). During the "The Sith War" arc (3996) Mandalorians were included on the story, however they didn't look a like we saw them on the previous films (like Boba Fett), nor how we after saw them on KotOR games (3956 BBY). They were different, they were not just like a culture or Creed (like The Mandalorian showed us), but as a race known as the Taung   So, during Exar Kun's Sith Wars, all of Mandalorians were Taung (there wasn't any Human-Mandalorian). This changed with Mandalore the Ultimate, who (after seeing many Mandalorians dying in the war) decided to open their hands to reclute more species to their culture. Which is interesting considering thousands of years after that, Taungs were likely extinted, but Mandalorian culture remained.  Between Exar Kun war and KotOR it happened 40 years (it is not that much time), however we never see any Taung during KotOR games, nor the armours the saw them wearing on Tales of the Jedi. So, the idea would be incluing not just some Taung species Mandalorians, but also some similars Taung-Mandalorian armours they wear on Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War, to make it more Lore-Friendly with the Tales of the Jedi comics. This are some referencia images: Taungs: Armours:

I’m not certain without checking, but I’m pretty sure the armour pieces are part of the level geometry and the metal boxes and kiosk are placeables. If so, the simplest solution would be to just move the placeables elsewhere, or take them out completely. Or you could modify the level geometry to remove the armour pieces or put them elsewhere and adjust the walkmesh to match. Either way, it’s definitely doable.
