http://dkmegasite.vgfort.com/dkc.phpIt looks like Miyamoto's design is the one that was used in the Game Boy Donkey Kong and Game & Watch Gallery art work. I have no idea where they got that image or information from though.
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0002/01/miyamoto.htmlThere's an interview there, if anyone can translate it properly. Miyamoto talks quite a bit about Donkey Kong's redesign.
I ran it through an online translator, and it seems that Miyamoto confirms that the necktie was his idea, but these online translators are never accurate.
