I looked up chips on aliexpress FWIW: http://www.rebeldroids.net/forum/showthr...49#pid3149 That'd take a while to get here though. There might be cheaper - but wood could be fun.
AFAICT there isn't much "canonical" about the sides (or top). Oliver & Lee's ones for the new movies seem much different than the old one. I even saw a pix of one of sides of one of Lee's where the chips clearly spelled "LT" (Lee Towersey) - though I didn't see that on screen. They seem "evolved" from the originals.
Otherwise, the ones used as references (the restaurant displays) have been talked about as not really being screen used.
I was surprised that boosting the contrast got a little detail from the ANH droid:
(I was also surprised by how dirty the edge of the floors were. Dunno what the Empire's coming to, but if we'd missed a swath like that buffing the floor, our drill sergeant's would've had us doing pushups 'til the end of time).
