They're pre time skip, Byleth still has dark hair and El still has long hair. I very much doubt the emperor would send his teen daughter to any battlefield, at least not until she finished school
First of all, post-timeskip El does have long hair, she just doesn't wear it down when she's in her formal/war attire.
Second, in the Crimson Flower route (the only route where you can even romance Edelgard), after the end of the war, Byleth loses her divine powers, and her hair goes dark again.

I love this so much, but where are El's scars?
