I'm looking for the exact bootmgfw.efi file with an August 27, 2019 timestamp and a file size of 737512 bytes.

As best as I could determine, it's part of KB4474419, for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. Within that update, it's listed with SHA1 hashes of 772066470a530acab240df0636cee6fb5826ddce or 60dbce3adb7d660b2824721154e3ae57ee2f0b7b. (To make matters worse, there's two entries for the same file at this exact size listed in the Update manifest; I'm not sure which one would be the correct one.)
The way I understand it, it should still be current (ie no newer updates to it), if anyone is still running 2008R2/x64 with an EFI System Partition.

Unfortunately, inside that Update download, there's only delta compressed patches, and I'd need the exact full file.

I'd be really happy to get my hands on a copy!

Background is, I'm trying to determine RAID5 disk order and parameters (stripe size, starting parity disk, parity rotation direction) of a disk set out of a failed Windows Server 2008 R2 based NAS appliance. The only "small" filesystem on the RAID set is the EFI System Partition, and this is the largest / only really large file on it. I'm "close" with guessed parameters, but no cigar quite yet; and my hope is, that with a pristine copy of that exactly known file, I'll see at what block boundaries it'll fall apart and have a much easier time adjusting my guesses from there.

Better/other ideas also very welcome, including other places to ask!
