I think that this saber was also used in AOTC, just without the Pepper cap. Although, in most of the close ups we see a chromed resin casting of the TPM hero saber
From my understanding, Obi-Wan was supposed to use this lightsaber for the start of ROTS, then his modified traditional hilt would show up later in the movie. Anyway, the pepper shaker saber is the one that's been touring at exhibits.
Looks like they may have even had this on set. This picture doesn't look like a promo to me. Found this while looking for actual ROTS saber reference pics. Not sure I would have noticed it if not for this thread.

Hard to tell, Episode III was all over the place when it came to lightsabers. Half the council members swapped sabers from what they had used in the previous 2 films and then there is Palps using Anakin's hilt for part of the Windu duel and the well-known Anakin and Obi-Wan swap in their final duel.
