For me, the shapes of the metal parts have to be exactly like the ANH saber's. I am picky about those details, but I would interpret a couple of details on a "AFBB" saber to be half-way between ROTS and ANH.
The "ANM2 Booster"/"Gear"/"Cooling fins" has a hole on the side. You could interpret one of them as being where to mount a covertec knob. I have worn sabers in costume with either D-rings or covertec knobs, and I would definitely choose the knob over the D-ring if I had a choice.
A AFBB does not therefore not need to have the "handwheel" drilled for a D-ring, IMO.
I like to interpret the clamp-bubbles/circuit board, as there being both. The bubbles should be clear, magnifying a circuit board having very thin gold wires.
The finish should definitely be darkened metal, not paint or powder-coating.
Copper on the hilt? Absolutely not.
