Dave! is the genius of clone elements and he can answer you more fully tomorrow.
For now, let me contribute that all of the elements do indeed exist in the real
world, some may not exist in the precise colors used by Dave! In particular, I
am not sure about the trans-yellow 2x2 round tiles, the yellow 2x2 tiles, or the
red 2x2 cones in the back. The vast majority of the elements *are* available
and in the colors shown.
BTW, while I’m not sure about black, I think the canopy exists in the real world
as a dark blue. Paul S. gave me one in a huge box of junk/spares (thanks
Paul!).

Seriously though, you nailed down the mysterious blacktron ideal. It looks
mostly blacktron, but it *feels* totally blacktron. And also in the spirit
of Blacktron, I gotta say this ship raises more questions than it does
answers...

I’ve already bugged Dave! to release a Mach II with slenderer yellow striping on
the sides (basically by using 1x2 tiles in black and yellow) -- but this is my
only insignificant request for achieving full BT1 feel. A deeply subjective
point of niggling controversy, I admit.
I think Dave! has done a great job with the MOC.
