I'd say the revised cockpit would be the better option,....it was revised for a reason

According to the John Knoll book on the sets, it was enlarged for Empire to be more comfortable for the actors since there were more scenes in it. When GL found out they did that without consulting him, however, he was angry because he specifically wanted the cockpit to feel cramped like a WWII cockpit. Nick Meyer decreased the size of the Enterprise sets in Wrath of Khan for the same reason, to make it feel more like a submarine. Truthfully, 99% of moviegoers have no idea it ever changed, so it's pretty much a moot point.
If you want your Bandai Falcon cockpit to be ANH-style, decrease the depth of the back wall, misalign the light strips, and remove the steering yokes -- you'll be good to go! If you're really daring... fuzzy dice.
