It's possible the script was written based on a draft of the script plus concept art, and then the author was given license (Like how Alan Dean Foster never saw the finished designs for the Alien, and describes it with eyes in the novel).

Did it?
Maybe I'm getting confused between script and book again, but I thought it had chameleon-like skin rather than stealth tech.
Here it is:
Perhaps there is also a draft I haven't seen where it's actually his skin?

Page 115, I linked the script in the previous page. It's described as spinning like a discus.
I remember that!

The original creature didn't really have any tech, except a spear.

I'm not sure I could really recommend reading the book to anyone (it's pretty whack, and not in a good way), but there's definitely some crazy shit in it, especially regarding the Predator itself.
