The version that appears in the Original Trilogy Visual Dictionary is the one, I think, that has these rows of visible rivets.
 
Hey man.

I'm wanting to do the ANH version as well. I'm debating on if I should use real rivets or just try to simulate them somehow. Don't forget he's also got a metallic panel on the rear that's not painted. I'm not sure, but I don't believe the Kenny Baker Artoo (two legs) had rivets. If it did, they're not visible in any of the photos I've run across. All of these are from ANH. Hope these photos help. :)
