Solo ROTJ blaster question

Which version of the ROTJ blaster is Solo using in the scenes in front of the bunker? Is it this one?

I noticed what looked to be exposed brass knobs around the screws holding the mount on, and the allen bolt holding the flash hider on looked to be dark like the one in the pic, not silver like shown in pics of other versions. I never could see if it had a piston on the right side or not.

I'm thinking about making my version that I'm working on to be similar to this, and didn't know if the brass was completely unpainted on this version or if it's exposed from the "weathering" look on the prop.

Anyone?

Well, after some digging through the search feature, I found the old thread:

http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=32783

...which talks about the brass pieces on the Stembridge version above, which had no piston from what I read. So, I may do an amalgamation of versions and possibly do the brass exposed, with the brass look tip on the scope, but have all the pistons on both sides. Not sure if I'd do rivets or screws yet for the pistons.
