Was Jill originally planned to be like a Tyrant?

After looking through some concept art of Jill from Re5 (below) I noticed a couple of interesting points. Check out the second image which shows the full-page of concept art.

The control unit (that Chris and Sheva have to remove) which looks like a sort of diamond in the actual game was planned to be an organic external heart much like what the classic Tyrant had. One of Jills arms was deformed with long claws similar to that of the crimson heads from RE1. Might her arm perhaps further mutated into the large claw style arm that the Tyrant enemies usually have?

The fact that Jill also for the most part of RE5 wore a large black coat/cape makes her seem even more like a Tyrant as the infamous Nemesis and MRX both wore large black coats.

So was Jill originally planned to be a Nemesis/Tyrant style enemy constantly following the player? It sure would have been cool if it had happened.
