Those new images are simply not where they should be: "
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/"
I think your only way is to grab serial code and scrape the image that is
displayed here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
e.g. It shows color of my iPhone. I can't verify the new macbooks.
In any case Yosemite/Mavericks is not getting any update so don't expect
you will see those icons on older systems.
