My wife didn't realize that her picture will be on the Naturalization certificate. She said if she knew this, she would have had her photos retaken. When she goes to her interview, can she bring a new set and ask the officer to replace the ones she originally submitted?

I would say yes. At the interview (although I have not the experience yet, but from what I'm reading on VJ and other forums) the IO is going to ask her sign on the front of the photograph, then they'll place that signed photograph on the naturalization certificate. So I believe you (the wife) still have the chance to switch them. Smile! :) You're taking a picture!

Apparently, your IO is an expert to look at you and your photo to verify both are the same person. Would be good to use the same hair coloring and hair style as your photos at the interview.
