Maybe SRM-270S, replacing the SRM-252S
the text just above the cable does match "Driver Unit For" then next line "Earspeaker"

My guess is this is the reason the 007a was cancelled in Japan.

We can dream... A more comfortable, similarly light, fairly similarly tuned, larger driver, easier to drive, and removable cable style 007/X7000, etc. would be on my shortlist.

Wishlist
1) 007 with larger driver tuned like mk1, detachable cable, lighter would also be good
2) x9000s with driver tuned to sound more like sr-omega, and the ring around it to be straight outward instead of angled

1.1 - 007 with a user adjustable headband instead of the elastic

Looks like a mixture of circular drivers (most likely 007-like) with Lambda-like horizontal grilles, probably made out of plastic, a bit like Shangri-La Jr, and with detachable copper cables like on the SR-L500MK2.
Probably slots in place of the SR-007A under the SR-009S, in the 250,000-300,000 yen price range.

The grills are metallic colored. I don’t see them going through the trouble of painting plastic. And I think you meant horizontal grills

Given the thick the grill lines, the headphones would be pretty heavy if there were solid metal rather than plastic. Also, I see plenty of devices with plastic painted to look like metal. It's like vegan leather pretending to be leather and not a petroleum by product.
