Yes, definitely an alternate shot. The cover shot is probably not that much cropped either, just photographer much closer. Look how Lennon's face is in focus, while his guitar is already out of focus. That only happens if you are very close with your camera and would not have been possible on the second shot, unless you would have use a large-format camera with very shallow depth of field etc.

Is there any place to get a high-quality print of this Elvis picture? Someone earlier mentioned it may have been in Mojo... .
Here is another one, actually a slight alternate shot, but it's revealing where the original photo was actually taken:
Apologies if this one has already been done...I don't have time to go through all 8 pages now... Ever see the original Rubber Soul photo?

Here is another interesting one... the cover of "Kveikur" by Sigur Rós, and the original uncropped photo by Lygia Clark:
