headset that looks like this one ????

It's a copper/gold colour, which is rare.
Does it have a bright yellow PTT cable that looks similar to the small one in this image?

If you've seen a headset like this in the last 12 months, being used on pushbacks, somewhere in the UK, I'm more than interested to know where it is, as it could be mine.
Just over 12 months ago, a Seneca based at Bristol (G-DAZY) did a transplant organ ferry flight to DUB. During the flight, the headset on the aircraft failed.
Unfortunately, the spare headset on the aircraft was missing, and there was no hand microphone on board. Ooops!
The aircraft was stranded at DUB.
Later that morning, I was asked if I had my personal headset on station by the duty manager, and after some testing, to make sure that the transmission quality was acceptable to ATC, the aircraft returned to it's base.
The original plan was that my headset and lead would be returned to me on another flight from Coventry, operated by the same company. For some reason, that didn't happen, and the new plan was that it would be returned to me via an FR flight from BRS to DUB.
It never got to me. I've contacted the operator, several times, but I still do not have my headset back. As you can imagine, I am considerbly less than impressed about that, the headset and cable was worth in excess of $350, and SA never offered a cent towards it, even though they asked me to loan it to the aircraft.
So, the question is simple. This is a rare headset, there can't be many of them in the UK. Have any of you guys at the sharp end seen a headset that matches the description and picture? If you have, please PM me, as there are some things about that headset that mean I can identify it as being mine if it is, but I don't know where it's ended up.
Thanks
