The modern ones with snot green keystone buttons have a threaded hex nut and washer arrangement. The drilled hole to accept this is too wide to accept vintage style push-in bushings.
As you already suspect, any over tightening of the hex nut will leave an indentation in the headstock face that a push-in bushing will not cover.
Arguably, a Junior or Special should have the small white tuner buttons. If you want to get really faux authentic, you need the three-on-a strip type.
still not convinced with the newish gibson headstock when I hold it up to my other Les paul and my SG I had it looks a little odd. my 2016 studio had the same thing. they look chunkier.
Thicker or of a different outline? On some Gibsons, the headstock thickness tapers off towards the end.
