In the case of Voyager, there's a physical model and at least one CGI models that existed from the beginning of the series. (the opening credit sequence is entirely CGI) Originally, I do believe the CGI model was detailed just like the physical model, probably textured using photos of the physical model. But it's possible they added smaller hull panels at some point. Or they could have been there from the beginning, I don't know. All of the images you posted except for the bottom one are of the CGI model.
As I said previously, just do it how you think it should be done. One of the biggest traps in CGI is overthinking things.
