In
this
particular case... These nitpicks are actually pretty far... This is ROTJ Vader, plain and simple.

The closest to the SHF here are the ESB/RotJ boxes. That makes sense since this is supposed to be the RotJ Vader, as evidenced by the bonus display base and the missing hand. However, not one single button is placed properly here. They don't match up at all. It's pretty self explanatory.
I do not understand what you are trying to say here. They align almost perfectly with the ROTJ design. It seems to me like you're trying to compare the left box, seen in the second SHF pic, with the right box, seen in your belt pic. Take the belt as a whole:
And it's right. The red lights are
slightly
more centered in the SHF, okay, but I hardly thing that minuscule of a difference is worth any level of complaint.

Chestbox:
The chestbox, on the other hand, is some sort of bizarre Frankenstein. The large rocker switches at the bottom are in the configuration of ESB/RotJ, but they are solid colors, like ANH/RotS. They are lacking the proper black outer coloring of the ESB/RotJ pieces and the silver sliders in between. Additionally, the upper and lower colored panels in the upper right are blue and red, per ESB/RotJ, but are also missing the sliders. The Aurabesh text is missing for a proper ESB/RotJ. The rod detailing is also incorrect for any version of the unit.
The chest is a bit of an amalgamation, but it does still most closely resemble the ROTJ design. The only actual problem is missing silver detailing between the buttons (which makes it like the ROTS one there). It's not shown in your picture, but the yellow is actually correct:

Cape Chain:
The cape chain is probably the most inaccurate piece, not matching up to any version of the character.
I'm actually not entirely sure it never appeared as a chain like seen in the SHF. I found some pictures showing just that. But the design you gave is the most frequent, so I'll give you that one.

Edit:
I also forgot to mention that the Vader figure is being reported as ~155mm in height. Converted, that comes out to about 6'1" or so. David Prowse alone was 6'5", not counting the additional height from the costume pieces.
Okay now you're just really reaching.
Vader, of all characters, is undeniably an incredibly hard character to get "perfect" because his suit changes so much. This is still insanely accurate. There are inaccurate Figuarts like W, and then there is this. They aren't actually that comparable, if you have to go such inane levels to make a case.
It's not "perfect" for that, no. But I hardly think you can write it off as not good enough, which would seem to be the intent of this level of analysis.
