It's not 1:1 to either. More like their appearances were heavily based on them. Original final boss was basically a combo of Jay's proto/US & final/JP sprites.

The last boss isn't one of the girl's dolls though, that much is nearly certain. The third main boss, Yadokame, is mentioned in the Japanese manual as having been cared for by someone else, which is why it was missing in the intro. What do we see in the true final level? A room full of harmless miniature versions of it, hinting we're about to meet the owner of that toy. (That line can also be meta-humor that it replaced the level's mini-boss later in development, but this makes sense as an in-universe explanation.)
