According to Google Image Seach :) more than a half has body, and some have a hat http://www.google.com.ar/search?hl=en&q=moai&gs_sm=e...

(IIRC, all most of them had had a hut, but in most of them the hat had fallen an been lost.)

Well IIRC most moai were placed at the shore or on the cliffs, and the hats were generally rounded. So giant wheel + hill + ocean is definitely going to end with the majority of the hats being lost.

Well, I believe this particular head is the one I've seen most commonly in books[1], and that was quite a long time ago (I wish I could remember if the original Aku-Aku book had pictures.)
