It's sold  but I vguely remember seeing it. It was either a prototype or a masterful conversion posted on the forum at some point....Dave McGee was it one of your prototypes?

It was an Excelsior release.  One of the packs that were released at the same time as the Euthanasi and Blight Commando Sgt and Hvy.   

I have two, so I am hoping somone here was able to connect on the rare one.

It looks like Dave's, but I am pretty sure it is not his. These are really rare.

Seemed to me as being cast from one piece and not modified.

Did a similar one as conversion but because of seeing on epainted in the army-gallery I thought this might be an official one that was sold out soon out of minor availiability.

Yes, I believe Thom used someone's conversion, and made a mold off of it.   If Thom has the time to give us the official background on the sculpt, I am sure he can clear up the source.   I thought the original conversion was by one of the true old-timers on the forum.  Just drawing a blank as it was a long time ago.
