Was any headway made on figuring this out?

Ah, I see what you did there.

If you put the two toys side by side, it becomes clear they're not compatible without substantial modifications:

https://i1.wp.com/www.tfmatrix.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/IMG_20191228_154706.jpg

The G1 toy's head is considerably more narrow than the head for the Siege toy. You'd either have to just glue the Siege head in place and have a toy that couldn't transform fully, or else you'd have to find a way to dig out the channel that the head slides into, and make it large enough for the Siege head to fit. Or do something nutty like graft the Siege face onto the G1 helmet and hope it doesn't look super dorky.

There are a number of Siege Crosshairs upgrade kits out there so you can outfit him with gigantic monster truck wheels and help distance him further from the Ironhide/Ratchet design, so that might be a better way to go.

Did anybody ever create a new head that matches the old G1 toy?

Not that I've ever come across. Most of the Crosshairs kits I've seen focus on replacing the wheels and providing gap fillers for the various empty cavities in the toy.

Zob (putting the G1 head on the Siege toy would be a comparatively easy project)
