Thumbs are crossed in the smaller one, not in the other. Thumbs crossed looks more like an aquila.

Personally I'd go with picture #2, as picture #1 looks rather awkward and doesn't really resemble the Aquila.
Remember, the Aquila is supposed to have the two-headed eagle facing both ways (past and future). Picture # 2 represents this much better.

He was not the golden lord. The Emperor will carry us to the stars, but never beyond them. My dreams will be lies, if a golden lord does not rise.
I look to the stars now, with the old scrolls burning runes across my memory. And I see my own hands as I write these words. Erebus and Kor Phaeron speak the truth.
My hands. They, too, are golden.

There's also a one handed version if you're wielding a weapon or busy, which is just the wing of the eagle applied to your chest.
Mostly so you don't shoot yourself in the face trying to salute.
Mechanicus do "the cog" which is interlocking knuckles. Why they do that when most of them don't have need to verbally communicate is anybody's guess.

Note that the left-hand eagle head and foot is clear and has an eye, whereas the other is blind and slightly spikier.

Same reason. Verbal communication is as good at eliminating the need for gestural communication just as much as noospheric communication eliminates the need for verbal communication.

Because as odd as it may sound human communication uses a lot of non-verbal communication.
The extended empty hand shows you have no ill intentions(your hand isn't holding a weapon). Shaking right hands(the weapon hand) shows mutual respect. Hold both hands up palm outwards shows you mean no ill will.
In the case of the mechanicus, it is some lingering portion of their humanity. but also a way to tangibly show their fealty. Part of the ritual thats been passed down for thousands of years.

Make two fists touching each other across your chest. Interlock your knuckles. Sign of the Cog.

Nailed it. I think i just leveled up!
I'm going to presume that the left-hand little-finger knuckle is to be seated between the right-hand little finger knuckle and the ring-finger knuckle.
thanks guys!

I was mostly joking, but those are some very good answers indeed.
One would assume the Cog can only be performed by those who still have hands, which would be the least augmented ranks, and most physically (and thus mentally) human.

Alternatively, those who no longer have the appendages required to make the sign of the cog have no need to make the sign at all, as their degree of oneness with the Omnissiah is readily visible. The sign of the cog is only for the lowest.

Silly buttery, it reinforces this behavior more so. I mean could you imagine having avoided standing at attention or parade rest or sounding off in the military... I wish it had no verbal communication. For example, just imagine fiddling with a toaster and then as a superior walks by, do a quick cog salute and then go back to working on a toaster... 
Praise be to the Machine God.
