"... This screen might be familiar to fans of Ridley Scott's other classic sci-fi movie, Blade Runner, which has a remarkably similar screen onboard a flying police vehicle: ..."
It's exactly the same graphics. In a Blade Runner documentary, (On the Edge of Blade Runner) Ridley Scott explicitly mentions this.
It's good to read about the work of Ron Cobb. In '79 I picked up a book, "The book of ALIEN" which also shows some of the shots you show . It also includes work by Giger and Foss.
Another example of Scott re-using Cobb designs is in Prometheus. If you take a look at the flight deck of the ship it looks like the 'split level bridge' design, P51 in Colorvision. [1]
Also check out the patches Cobb produced on P61 [2]. Still got my "Nostromo" & US "Tri-color" patch wich you still pick up at various stores in the 80's.
