Perhaps you should use the 'type identifier' in System Events.
A disk image file has type identifier = public.disk-image,

Well, I just tried that on 10.5.7 and it doesn't work as expected. It
seems to need a specific identifier such as "public.jpeg" -- IOW, the
UTI inheritance chain isn't working.
That would mean a list of all needed identifiers and so perhaps not as
convenient as imagined.
set fold to (choose folder)
set name_key to "123-456-78"
set prefix to (words of name_key as text) -- "12345678"
tell application "System Events"
every file of fold whose name begins with prefix and kind
contains "image"
end tell
A shy retiring list member has sent me a note to say the above will
also snag items whose kind is "Disk image". So if that could be the
case, a change will be necessary:
every file of fold whose name begins with prefix and kind contains
"image" and kind does not contain "Disk"
