Anyone using a Firebox X550e/X750e/X1250e for pfsense…

Hi all!
So the original thread for this was closed over many years ago, unfortunately I now need the same help.
Here is the original thread link: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/24928/anyone-using-a-firebox-x550e-x750e-x1250e-for-pfsense
Is there anyone here who runs pfsense on a Firebox X550e, X750e or X1250e and who happens to have either kept the original CF card untouched or has made an image of the original software of the Firebox?
The reason I'm asking is because I have to restore a Firebox X750e which had pfsense installed onto the original CF card by someone. As there is no support on this box Watchguard isn't willing to help without spending big £££. I would need an image of the original CF card's content, no matter how old it is. The X750e I have is licensed but no clue what version it was and therefore there shouldn't be any issues if I use an image from another box (all the functionality is bound to the serial number anyways which is coded into the hardware, so all I'm doing is restoring software the Firebox is licensed for).
It has to come from a X550e, X750e or X1250e, images from other Fireboxes (X500/700/1000, FB II, FB III etc) probably won't work but I'm willing to try if they run Fireware and not the old WFS.
So please, if you have a Firebox X550e, X750e or X1250e and either have the original CF card with the Watchguard software on it or a dd image, send me a PM quickly!
Thanks

What size CF card is it?
What are you planning to use it for?
All of those boxes are now so old that I would not consider them reliable at this point. I went through 3 at home that all started misbehaving eventually.
