I mean, you wouldn't want the poor girl to be unable to eat all the fish she wants, would you? Incidentally, this is an artist-friendly stylisation of a real beluga's jawline, which looks even weirder.

Battletech is notorious for wild artistic inconsistency (even before you bring up the designs that had to be removed and remade from the ground up due to blatant plagiarism). These are all the same 'Mech.
