I haven't really had a chance to look at the diaries in-depth, but what is the difference between the hero prop and the story prop?

Story Prop
This version is a fictionalized account of his quest, filling in pages from the original prop with a coherent story-line from 1899 when his quest begins to 1938 when he and his son finally find the Holy Grail. It contains over 320 pages.
Hero Prop

read about this. Cool to see something Indy out in the world making news. But, I must confess, where is the Abner journal featured in the film? I recall all the issues and sub plots regarding Abner, but don't recall actually seeing the journal in the film? What part is it shown? Thanks!

That was my first guess.... And as far as the pics above, I've never read the script or the novelization, so I always assumed that was just Indy's personal notebook. Are these sources where it's referred to as Abner's?

I certainly think we are meant to believe that the journal Indy in Raiders is his. This is established through the fact that Henry Sr. keeps his grail diary as we know from Crusade. Then in the first episode of Young Indy (the Egypt 1908 sequence that is the first half of the Curse of the Jackal on TV and My First Adventure on DVD), Indy gets his own diary from Henry Sr. when he sets off for the tombs.
I haven't read the novel in years, but from the filmed material, I am confident that Indy is using his own diary.
As to why there is information about the Map Room in there (which would be Abner's obsession), I always assumed that what Indy was looking up are the hieroglyphic symbols so he could translate the grid where the staff goes.
Of course, if this is some crazy Indy 5 announcement stunt, then of course there could be any number of story reasons why what was sent is Abner's.
