The PDF article refers to one figure being removed. This was an image of Mohammad (pbuh)
The man whose image was later removed in flowing Arab costume with a pretty distinct beard; in one hand he held a book with a star and crescent on it, while in the other hand he carried an unsheathed sword, short and curved.
The Muslim protests against the image began in 1956; the image was removed about two years later, in 1958.
