So we've made a little more progress and I am just not happy with the results at all.
I was right in thinking that the yarn is too bulky, the needles are too big and the chart still isn't quite right. I want to keep going with this sample so I can flesh out other difficulties or refinements. The nose needs to be reduced by two rows from five to three, and I've not finished the eyes yet, but they need to be changed as well, perhaps a stitch or two wider.
Trying to intarsia the whole thing is a mistake, I think that the nose and eyes should be duplicate stitched after the motif is complete.
Sigh...
