No that part you see on the box is the part that is below the emitter shroud on the casting... However, some have speculated that it is part of the same found part as the Vader ROTJ stunt box (as in, it was originally set into the bottom of it).
Energizer Lightsaber project - as originally made

Yeah that bottom part. The one we see on the motorized stunt, turned barbican saber. This is another one on the energizer saber right?!
I wonder if this greeblie was cast, or if they had multiples ?
And if they had multiples and this is related to the dv6 box, maybe there is dv6 boxes hidden somewhere else?!
Oh the excitement
Crazy!
I'm not sure they are the same part. They share similarities, but could be variants of the same type of part. Side by side they don't seem to line up. And when I compare my own Barbican part with Obi1Kenny's DV6 part (both of which I'm sure are going to be within a mm or so of accuracy), the holes for the screws are way off.
Here are the two originals:

Agree Tom. These boxes have to share the same purpose... probably found in your average hardware shop back in the 70s/80s
So... hear me out... the Energizer box would be lined up with the farthest right edge of the box, not centered on the top part, yea? I'm thinking it's missing the left hand box and would be 3/4 the length of the full DV6 box. Would that bring the screw holes further to the right?
related but different items..
Kurtyboy what.. what exactly are the "aerial earth" plugs people talk about for the EE-3 or Vader's neckpiece? Like, in real life. After the red safety switch discovery, I'd like to search in categories, and I don't know what those plugs.. plug into!

did you design the shroud? It looks great, but does look barbican esque as well

I’m restarting this too. This time I nabbed a 19” maglite… spun it in my drill press and sanded it down!
Now there’s no button hole, and there was only knurling on the upper 3rd, but I wanted it all the same diameter
I spun a core and set it with a button head screw like the original… and I took some third and fourth glances to the structure visible in my cast.
After searching through the plastruct and evergreen catalogue, there are no straight parts that will work. Instead I took thick sheet and sculpted it with a heat gun!! Seriously, my first time… some of it deformed a little too much, but I’m proud to say it worked. I calculated circumference for the two strips/layers I see in the cast, one is longer than the other. Then I filled the voids with resin to start off
