AFIK, the 6 foot model was spruced up and repainted. A CGI was made accordingly for SFX shots that needed it and a 12 foot saucer model was made for the crash sequence.

TPTB=The powers that be...meaning the producers and the people at Paramount.

The Venture from DS9 was the 4 foot model with all the extra stuff taken off from AGT, except the phaser strips in the nacelles.

A slightly different CGI was made that had a blackened upper spine but was only used in one episode. The majority of the Galaxys on DS9 was of the original CGI made for Generations.

Mostly the paint job. They painted it a deeper bluish aztec pattern, and redecaled everything - for example, all the escape pod hatches had numbers on them, where before they weren't detailed at all.
