I have yet to encounter a definitive thread dedicated specifically to research Kylo’s saber, and I have been doing research for my own project and thought that I should document it. I have a lot to add, but for now I’ll just note my findings on TLJ differences.
First off, the paint scheme seems to be more subdued, with more black. The TFA version from the Wired photos had a lot of silver details, and TLJ variant seems to be all black except some chipped paint, especially in the areas that in the TFA version were solid silver. I first noticed this on the Disney Parks Kylo FX saber, but it matches the promotional posters.
(not sure where I found the pic of the Disney Parks saber but I didn’t take it)
The second difference I saw was in the wire clips. It is clearly visible in the last picture that the wire clips are shaped differently, with a sort of step in them, while the TFA saber was slanted but straight on the edges. The promo pics for the Propshop saber follow the TFA clip style, but most production ones seem to have the new clip.
second photo is of the promo saber, which has the same scratch marks and lack of clear plastic greeblie, so it can be identified as the same saber from the promo photos:
