    This has to be profile pictures applied/cached by the user through settings app not the default profile picture image, because folder "AccountPictures" is empty for me.

    I checked it with ResourceHacker and it only contains Windows logo/branding.

    Have you tested before posting? because it seems like not. Change all of them and you will see that lock screen picture stays as it was before, it is not affected by this files.
    I even changed them in mounted ISO image, to check if they are cached somewhere else after first user logon, but it seems like not.
