As befitting the nature of the Forth community, that are as many different schemes for object oriented Forth systems as there are users of same. I do not know of a single instance where one Forth system implementor or vendor has used the same object-oriented scheme as another. The same is true for local variable schemes and to a lesser extent for search order schemes. The implications of this for users, and for the future of Forth, are left to the reader as an exercise.

I believe the JForth (Amiga [and others?]) OO extension "ODE" is modelled on Neon (Mac?). I don't remember what this approach was as I haven't used it yet (I intend to), but I thought it was elegant judging from the documentation.
