I did read Luther's reply regarding 'SetFile'.

As an alternative (and since you've moved from 8.6 to X, you may want this
for other reasons) you could use the contextual menu tool 'FinderIconCM', by
Hide Itoh. This does not affect the creation date, OMM (X.3.9; CM plugin v.
2.4).

With this tool, all you need to do is select (in the Finder) any "bad icons"
and then choose 'Clear' from the contextual menu.  The Finder will then
display the new OS X icon thumbnail.

Further, you might want to explore Graphic Converter, even for a trial
period. The File Browser in that tool is great for handling large
collections of image files and you can adjust settings for the thumbnail
icon (aspect ration, for example.)
