I think they must have kept the sets from "Trials and Tribblations" in storage - which is a good thing. Just wished they kept OPS and the Promenade - only cause they are some of the Best Sets ever constructed for television!
The turbolift alcove's right side (facing the lift from the bridge) was never seen in 'The Tholian Web' (believe me, I checked!). Everything from the center of the turbolift door to the right around to the Viewscreen is totally open to redesign, which they obviously did. The hooded viewer seen in one of the pics is a station too far right to have been on the Enterprise (Scotty's Engineering station had a hooded viewer, and this one is one station too far right for that viewer). The padding on the burke chairs is too thick, and the bridge rail is rounded, not mitre cut.
That being said, I am most happy to overlook these errors and chalk it up to being a late build. Besides, I view most of Trek as Federation propaganda films anyway.

Do rememebr that it's a different ship. Differences in minor details are to be expected. A different upgrade schedule, a different subcontractor for ship fittings...I would consider it an error if the bridge was a perfect match for the one on Enterprise.

Just look at the Ent-D vs Yamato. Both Galaxy class ships from the same batch yet with slightly different bridges.

Well, if one compares what has been rebuilt to what was seen on screen in Tholian Web, then there are going to be errors...
That being said, I don't really care. I'm glad we'll get to see a Connie on TV again (even if only for two weeks) and like you, I rationalize away the inconsistencies and errors in reconstruction.
What I do want to see, however, is a bunch of dead people laying around the ship.... in exactly the positions they were in the original episode Heheh!

There were dead people lying around on the ship?

Yeah, they'd all killed each other or went mad or something. McCoy puts his hand through a corpse at one point.
And they should have plenty of TOS costumes left over from the Tribble episode... New ship patches are pretty easy to work up, but it wouldn't surprise me too much if they simply kept the arrowhead and hope people don't notice.
I'm still betting that the Defiant will be renamed ISS Enterprise by the end of the two-parter...

That was in Miri.

So, like, I hope that these "preliminary" exterior shots are in fact very preliminary, as they look rather shittish, being inaccurate to the TOS studio model and quite poorly-textured. (That's not even the right font! )
Either that or it's a FAAAAAAAAAAKE.

So, OK, one wonders about these, because accuracy issues aside, they're nowhere near the, uh, level of detail of the computer models used on the show. Like, people at the boards of said site are concerned that these don't look so good, yet they're obviously not broadcast quality.

Regarding the uniform patches, a true canon freak would in fact INSIST that the Enterprise arrowhead be used. After all, if one looks closely enough, this is what we see in the original episode.
Sure, the director seemed to go to awful pains to hide the patches on virtually everybody, but he missed a spot... The arrowhead is visible on the redshirt draped over a table at the CMO's office. Of course, it's WAY too small to be properly discerned.
If we see the bodies duplicated (which I find very unlikely, since I'd assume we pick up the MU action long after the MU characters have appropriated the derelict), are we also going to see the surprising number of identical twins we witnessed aboard the ship in the original episode?
