So there were two Obi ANH sabers that we know of. Franz Bolo brought up the question of whether we have any idea which was seen on screen in the movie. Good question!
To review, here's a version of the 'Chronicles' transistor-side pic:

...and here's the Tunisia shot of the other saber:

The upper stem is slightly larger diameter, and the transistors are off-axis in the opposite way from the 'Chronicles' saber.
Here's a mix of screen caps with a few lower-resolution Tunisia production shots. Ignore the stunt version with the blade:

Here's a screen cap showing what I think is the Chronicles saber in footage taken during the Cantina sequence, but its from the documentary and I don't think anything that clear is seen in the movie. Ignore the other caps from the 'flipped' version of the corridor scene.

If anyone can do HD caps of these scenes for us finally that would be much appreciated!
