You can tell its version by doing an 'otool -L /usr/lib/libtiff.dylib'.  In general /usr/lib is the domain of the OS vendor, nothing should be going in there aside from what the OS installer puts there (there is no /usr/lib/libtiff* on a stock system).

Definitely a reasonable candidate. I can confirm there is no libtiff in /usr/lib on my systems either, so it's not standard. Please remove it.
