What would you say would be the top 3 (concrete?) things that define the
difference between Penjing and Bonsai, that would let a relative newbie
identify it?


I would say:
1. if it has figures, mud men, etc. it is Penjing.
2. if it has a lot of landscaping, streams, stones, etc. it is
Penjing.
3. if it has a variety of species of different types such as tall
trees and shorter shrub like plants it is Penjing.
