For instance Mary mistook him for the gardener. (Joh 20:14, 15) He again appeared, entering a room with locked doors, having a body with wound marks. (Joh 20:24-29) Several times he manifested himself and was recognized, not by his appearance, but by his words and actions. (Lu 24:15, 16, 30, 31)

That is because he had been resurrected as a spirit. In order for people to see him, he had to materialize a fleshly body, just like the angels in Noah's time did.
In order not to give the impression that he had his old body back, he used ones that looked different from the one he had had while living as a human.
The physical body of Jesus Christ was not allowed to decay into dust as did the bodies of Moses and David, men who were used to foreshadow Christ. (De 34:5, 6; Ac 13:35, 36; 2:27, 31) When his disciples went to the tomb early on the first day of the week, Jesus’ body had disappeared, and the bandages with which his body had been wrapped were left in the tomb, his body doubtless having been disintegrated without passing through the process of decaying.—Joh 20:2-9; Lu 24:3-6.
Once a miracle performed at his direction opened his disciples’ eyes to his identity. (Joh 21:4-7, 12) Jesus, having been resurrected as a spirit (1Pe 3:18), could materialize a body for the occasion as the angels did in past times, when they appeared as messengers. (Ge 18:2; 19:1, 12; Jos 5:13, 14; Jg 13:3, 6; Heb 13:2)
He did not look as he had on Resurrection day. He was completely beaten and swollen more than any man ever. So maybe they were looking for the wounded Christ instead of him in a Glorified, clean, un bruised and un battered body.
Well the texts do not show that Jesus appeared in different bodies. However, the perception of those looking at him misinterpreted who he was in each instance. The problem was that of those looking at Him.
it does not mean he changed although he may have only that his now body was not the same as before he had been killed.
because he gave up his first body when he got crusified.he can never use it again.
