according to the FCOM by the Boeing Company: ”The control display units shown in the Operations Manual have been labeled CDU-152 or CDU-161 where necessary to distinguish between Part Numbers S242T102-152 and S242T102-161. The CDU-161 panel has become the standard in production and as a replacement. Because the CDU-152 may be replaced with the CDU-161, both panels have been shown in the following pages.”

CDU-161 seems to be the new one (however, i’m not sure if that means that the 161 is the “NG FMC” since i hear some aircraft have that which i’m not sure what it actually is0

both are distinguishable by looking at the physical panel, 152 has the execute light on the EXEC key while 161 has the execute light above the EXEC key

default and sparky model use 161 by looking at 3d model

there are a few differences between the digital display of some pages, you’ll need to look through the FCOM for that

this is a thing that should be added much later as it isn’t all that important today, just letting you know there is a difference in some FMCs

What pages change? I won't be able to change the 3D model but I can probably change the pages.
