I've never heard the second wording. I went to Catholic school for a few years, and we were always taken to Mass on Ash Wednesday, and we always got the "thou art dust" wording, with strict instructions not to wash or wipe off the ashes until we washed up before bedtime.
On a side note, the latest is that my mother will be discharged to a rehab facility this weekend.
