Harryhausen calls it, "Trannosaurus al". It was  Arthur Hayward who actually 
sculpted Gwangi. Ralph wrote about it here:

As for myself, I  don't see much of a resemblance to Knight's Field Museum 
mural. Harryhausen's  production drawings are clearly based on Knight's first 
Tyrannosaurus paintng at  the American Museum. See Harryhausen's book, _An 
Animated Life_. DV
