I've spent all morning trying to establish if this piece of taxidermy (from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD) is a warthog or a wild boar. Can anyone say *definitively*?

Definitely wild boar, I’m not an ideal source but there was a boar’s head mounted on the wall in my basement when I was growing up - looked nearly identical to this one.
That's tough - looks like both pairs of tusks protrude from the mouth, which is a warthog feature. But that snoot is long and I don't see the characteristic bumps and wattles of a wartie.

they have protruding thinggies (wart-hog ?) on the cheeks and snout
