The first pic is the model built for the close up shots of the stardestroyer tower during the Endor battle while the bottom one is for the close-up shots of the Executor in ROTJ. You can see the correct Executor tower during the Tydirium "code clearence" scene

Ah, many thanks for clarifying that for me Adywan.

Here's a good behind-the-scenes shot of it -

....so that means that the proper black and white shot of the 'Executor' Superstardestroyer tower was this one here -

....which is the type seen at the bottom of these variations shown here -

.....whereas this shot is not the 'Executor' after all, but is just a 'standard' Stardestroyer's tower (as seen 2nd from the bottom in the variations photo seen just above) -

On re-reading the 'technical journals' site, it seems they didn't state that this one below was an 'Executor' tower after all.  I obviously mis-read it first time around, so sorry for any confusion.  This is definately just one of the 'standard' Stardestroyer towers after all (as seen in the colour shot shown just above) -

These 'technical journals' seem pretty well researched overall, but I wouldn't assume everything is correct with all their 'facts'.  But with so much information to take in there, I certainly got mixed up on this one.

However, I came across something else at that site to do with the 'Executor' that I've been meaning to query, but as it's not a 'scale' thing, I'm heading back to the 'ESB:R' thread with it....
