If I remember the novel by Glen A. Larson and Richard Thurston correctly, Imperious Leader wore a dried reptile-like dead Cylon head over the top of his real head. Something like the Imperious Leader has more credibility if he assumed the appearance of their creator race that they annihilated long ago.
I also seem to remember that the Imperious Leader model had three brains, the Lucifer-style had two brains, and the silver and copper(gold) colored Centurions had just one. Can't remember what name they gave to these mechanical brains, I don't think they ripped off Asimov and called them positronic brains. But I just don't remember.
Also I seem to remember that in the book Baltar was beheaded during an audience with Imperious Leader, part of that "Your time is at an end" speech by IL. And I remember a photo of a very worried looking John Colicos with a sword at his throat from the "Battlestar Galactica: The Photostory" book, which was a collection of stills from the movie with dialogue balloons so the story of the film could be told like a comic book.
They also mention in the book that his body was dumped into space with the other garbage from the Basestar using an airlock.
I think they decided to add the "You will be spared" scene in the BSG movie later when ABC approved the television series.
Boy I wish I hadn't gotten rid of this stuff over the years. Never knew I would need to refer to it when discussing a Battlestar Galactica remake.

I think I wuill take Olmos advice, as I was planning on skipping it anyway. Nice to se someone stand up and tell it like it is for a change. So rare in Hollywood.
