It's the jacket, mainly, I think - and the fact that 40 is totally the kind of girl who would stand there watching someone do a fancy intimidation display with a scimitar, then haul out her .45 and shoot him because she hasn't got time for that crap. (This mental image includes Zero standing there unable to decide whether to be impressed or disapprove, because on the one hand it was kind of cheap, but on the other it wasn't a proper challenge anyway and they really don't have time. Must be during their end-of-war/postwar mercenary freelancer phase from the late manga.)

Whatever the reason, in my mind she comes across as sort of a less battered R63 Indy. She might well sound much more like Marion, though. It's a cartoon, after all. :)
