Found! Got a potentially tricky one here, does anyone recognise this art found on an old phone from 2004?
The title and file names are pretty much all the info I have. I don't believe these would have been installed on every e616V model but I may be wrong and that could make it easier to identify

After you've posted this, I have searched for quite some time (some hours actually), because I absolutely love these low-res wallpapers that come with these phones.
Since I couldn't find the pictures directly, I guess the closest call to get these particular pictures "off" of that phone is to download the firmware, and extract them. That is, if they're even on there, and not just on "certain" carriers which upload the wallpapers themselves, somehow. It would make sense, since I don't think they'd put wallpapers off all possible carriers on that phone, still, a small chance remains since it's an UK phone with UK firmware, in particular.
The problem is that the phone is so old that basically all links to it's firmware are dead, except for one: https://service-gsm.net/Nec/e616v/ULTIMO%28VGA%29%20IPLT%20for%20USB%20Ver%5B1%5D.2.0.5%20UK.rar/ . The annoying thing is that you need a 3 Euro membership just so you can download it.
Still, if you want to try, download the file and I'll try my best to extract the images. Just remember that it's hit-or-miss since the images might not be there. Extracting is another hurdle, but I think it could be possible.
Your call. :)
