Need Help Identifying Unique Vintage Barbie Doll 60's? 70's?

Hello,

 

          Need help in identifying this unique looking vintage Barbie Doll possibly from the late 1960's or 1970's.

 

        The Back is Marked "© MATTEL INC.1966, MADE IN KOREA." Then there is the #15 also marked.

 

Thanks,

@cutie-boots   Her head is the first My First Barbie (1980). Someone has painted over her lips. She originally came in a yellow jumpsuit with blue trim.  Her original body is marked Philippines, with palms-to-back hands, so the head's been swapped onto the wrong body. 

Sorry I don't know which models came on a body marked Korea with "Mexico hands" (wrist turned to side), but it would have been made sometime between 1976 and 1978.
