More to the point: if the Doctor had regenerated three times since
he was at the Academy, how did Drax recognize him?  For that matter,
in "The Face of Evil", why (other than the obvious needs of the
story) was it Tom Baker's face on the mountain, when his current
regeneration was quite recent (and virtually all his time accounted for)?
He seemed to feel his previous visit to Leela's world was quite
a long time ago...

Maybe the first incarnation of the Doctor looked an awful lot
like Tom Baker during his first 200 or so years.  Romping around
the cosmos can do a lot to a guy's face in a few centuries.
