All other things being equal, the form of the name on a published work
should take precedence over that on a thesis, since thesis-writers are
often required by their schools to use their official names, and we'll
never see that form of the name again.
I would formulate according to your second example.

Subject: heading on record for a thesis
I want to establish a heading for Marc J. Russell, author of
Verification of bay productivity measurement by remote sensors.
(ocm76884043). There is already a record for this title in OCLC with the
heading Russell, Marc J.
I know that this is the same person listed as author of the thesis: Net
ecosystem metabolism in Texas shallow water estuaries (ocm68816448)
Russell, Marc James |d 1975
and likely Marc Russell (ocm54855207 and ocm54488377)
I'm unsure how to determine which version of the name to use. Can
someone please tell me if I can use the fullest form as found on the
thesis?
Russell, Marc James, |d 1975
Russell, Marc J. |q (Marc James), |d 1975
Russell, Marc J.
Thank you for your help.
