Question Need help finding 'illusion' film/badge

OK, bit of a random one, this.

Was watching Red Dwarf last night (series 3) and noticed the "H" on Rimmer's head was made from the same material that was used to make badges with years ago. A kind of honeycomb effect hologram/3D?
I used to have a couple of them - one about the size of a new 5P coin and one about the size of a new 10p coin.
Both had massive 3D/hologram style movement in such a small area.
I've done some extensive searching on Google and eBay for something similar and the only page I can find that definitely shows the stuff is HERE

Please watch the movie clip and you'll see what I mean and hopefully recognise it! The one's I had were of much smaller 'bubbles' shown in the pic on that page and circled in my pic HERE:

The badges I had were identical to that - same colour, bubble shape etc and that's what I'm after.
(I'm going to mail the chap and see if he'll ship overseas anyway)

The page says the film is called Kinetic Film and the company Rowland Technologies no longer manufacture it. From searching I think I've found that they make an 'illusion film' also - which is kinda like THIS
Similar, but not 'it'. In fact, I have a 'baccy tin with it on and it's not the same at all - very little if any movement. Almost like holographic wrapping paper if anything.
Also THIS which has a PDF which sparked my interest enough to mail them to see if I can find out more about one badge shown there.

Got a bee in my bonnet and I want one or more of these badges!

Can anyone help? One bloke I read somewhere said he'd seen them at the London Science Museum once, but no longer. I expect that'd be the kind of place to find them I suppose. I remember I bought the badges at the Monsters Of Rock festival at Castle Donington back in the 80's.
