Actually I've just looked up these models, and they appear to share
NCDware with the 19r, which is one I had, and still have the file for.
Don't know what the legality of sharing it is, but they sent it to me
freely enough when I asked. The terminals must have been licensed to use
it when new, but I guess it could be an older version, and could have
been a site licence.

Actually, I could be quite wrong - the _version_ is the same, but it may
still be a different image. I'll try & remember to make enquiries
tomorrow.
