Well, based on what we've seen so far there's a real effort to make the Ghostbusters-specific props look how the props appeared for the first film (which I stress does not mean that
Ghostbusters II has suddenly been erased from film canon).
Most notably with the Ecto-1, they've gone for her GB1/1984 appearance. The chair-mounted Proton Pack's thrower is styled after the Super Hero Pack (and one of those leaked production photos showed some of the prop team holding the Super Hero), and the Trap prop is clearly designed to resemble the visual cues present on the first general of Hero Trap props, most notably with the prop featured in the Sedgewick ballroom... Note the black knob on the plate to the right of the resistor, and only two socket head button screws, positioned diagonally from each other:
And one of the Traps from
Ghostbusters II (note the silver knob):
It even looks like they've done a bit of extra homework and incorporated some details from
this prop into their replica:
A detail I'd be curious to see if they've replicated, are the roughtly 45° chamfers on the aluminium side plates, a detail that which is often missed in prop replicas.
