The TFA BTS is pretty dull too— and has the larger box/buttons.
I’m still not sold on the white-glove saber being the creepy uncle given the box— but again, the retouching and compositing could alter that,

The more I look at these the more I think they are two different sabers.
So I'm pretty confident that Creepy Uncle uses copper traces. Just did a few experiments. Both my Slothfurnace and my Roman Props cards look gold-ish when reflecting back white light. Much like the Hero looks in RotJ.

Showed my mother The Last Jedi tonight, our TV is brighter than my computer so I caught some new details. SethS is right about the black buttons being CG'd out. I have a couple of pictures where you can barely see the remnants of the groove.

So these pictures makes me think that White Glove and Creepy Uncle are the same. With the differences CG'd in?

Yeah it's not easy to see. It was plain as day on our TV but there is a glint from the second half of the button. It almost looks like it's only been CG'd part of the way. I've drawn and arrow to it in this picture.
That’s what I am seeing. My personal guess is that the White glove is the TFA, and the pommel rotates. The middle one is the TLJ/CU. The last onw is also the CU with retouching overkill.
So if you’re going for screen accurate, you need lower profiule buttons and flush rails on the box.

If we are all agreeing TFA saber is the creepy uncle, I don’t think the bars a flush.
He is my starkiller TFA box, I removed 1.5mm off the top to drop the bars down lower
I think they hang over ever so slightly, even in the white glove saber I think they are hung over a little?
Do you think they are perfectly flush?

I'm starting to think the TFA BTS saber is its own thing. To me, it looks like the WG(white glove) and CU(creepy uncle) sidebars are only about a 1mm higher than the card. While TFA BTS is about 2 to 3mm higher than the card.
