I thought I might have it but after a quick search of both my own files and 
online I never found anything.

I put one together tonight after seeing you asking this again. Mine 
resembles the original but I changed the fingers. Anyway, it certainly isn't 
the same so you'll need to keep looking if you can't use something 
approximating the original.

To me, that other has the look of right hand fingers. Would be interesting 
to see the SDL for it because I always wondered if it had been changed to be 
the aerobics diagram by adding a thumb on the opposite side. Meaning, 
whether or not it might have started as something else instead of being made 
specifically for that purpose. Or just happened to be a quick scene file put 
together (well, quick is a relative term as I found tonight in doing this).

Well, you probably didn't want to hear all that... Posting it at 
povray.text.scene-files, so if anyone else wants to find it they can. I'll 
stress the fact it's NOT the original scene file.
