Lynda Carter herself shared the Entertainment Weekly article. It's the best confirmation we're gonna get from her for now.
And this is what's in the article FYI

3. She was supposed to be in Apocalypse Now, and she still kind of is if you know where to look
Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now is one of the most acclaimed war movies ever made, and Carter originally had a part in it. Carter was cast as the Playboy Playmate “Miss May” in the film, but after production was delayed by a storm, her contract with Wonder Woman forced her to give up the role and actress Colleen Camp took her place. However, viewers still get a glimpse of Carter in the Redux version of the film that Coppola released in 2001. A Playboy centerfold shot for the movie while Carter was still on set appears in the lengthened version of the movie, and the photograph accounts for the actress’ only nude scene aside from the one she did in her very first movie, 1976’s Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw.

I'm 100% sure it's legit
1. The pics are clearly not the same. The claim could have fooled people back then but now It's clear there are many differences.
2. It's airbrushed only to the usual vintage Playboy extent. It's not a painted face and it would be clear if that was the case. And the body would be even more difficult to paint, so in that case it would be another model. I don't think someone would go to those lenghts to make a fake picture of her when the very fact that she was in the movie was not common knowledge.
3. It's not a collage either because there's no other picture of her like that, but it's clearly her.
4. Colleen Camp said Lynda did the centerfold.
5. It's confirmed she was in the movie and on the set of the scene with the soldiers.
6. It matches the scenes in Bobbie Jo perfectly.
If anyone needs more proof beyond that, only confirmation from her or Coppola would suffice.
