The 'tile' theme does have some advantages - more posts can be shown at one time, which is great for featuring the winners in multiple countries. It's also fully responsive, meaning it will render nicely on phones, tablets, and desktops with the same theme. Streamlined commenting is easier for new users, while pictures are up front. To a certain degree, it's a matter of personal taste. Typography is a bit cleaner; in general, it tends to look more professional because it was professionally designed. I personally prefer the new theme as a more modern approach still under a free license.
I can definitely make additional modifications for anyone who needs help - things like colors can be changed very easily.

The .us website looks to me like the original .org template before it got changed. Personally I actually prefer the white-and-red skin much more over the current chaotic .org version (I'm just not a big fan of the tile structure chosen there, nor of the color scheme).
On http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/FAQ#How_... you can find some more info about the red-and-white skin.

Hi Mono,
Thanks,
Yes, I would love to know which template is used for *.org.

Nah, I was responsible for wikilovesmonuments.org - premade, but with some
modifications. I can pass on info for that one - I'm not sure about the US
one though.

Mono did it up himself, IIRC.
