That is pretty good. Well done.
I've just come across a story regarding the Dilgar war. You can download it in pdf form. It looks interesting.
No, I'm fairly sure JMS once said that the leftover bits of B3 were recycled and used in B4's construction. Budget was getting a bit tight at that point.
^That's not in question, though in itself it was probably a contributing factor in the pervasiveness of the fan myth that the B1,2 & 3 logos were visible somewhere during 'War Without End'.
If so then probably B4 had them too. It's a much bigger station than B5 ended up being. Indeed, B4 was supposed to have an engine so it could be moved, so it might have even had a third reactor.
Of course on the other hand, those could just be part of the incomplete cooling system and not the reactor itself. It would seem a little dangerous installing the fusion reactor too early in the construction phase. Just from a safety and security standpoint if nothing else.
One thing that interests me is this shot:
It looks like B1 was gonna have two reactors.

Reactor housing, not necessarily the reactor itself.
These are some quick doodles I made of how I thought B1 looked back in 1999. Wow, that was a long time ago, now!
