Lab Mask color variants

I'm someone who is a bit of a completionist. I learned that the Lab Mask has 9 color variations only once I reached the end of my playthrough. I was able to go back and find 7 of the 9 colors using the info on the wiki page. However I couldn't find the yellow or the pink mask in Dusk Reactor offices. I had previously looted everything there and must have scrapped the mask from the table and the one in the bathroom.

I didn't realize at the time these were unique items with no other source. There was no warning confirmation prompt about uniqueness when I went to salvage them from what I recall.

Is there any way I can still obtain these two items on my save? I tried using the item spawner mod to create them for me but unfortunately it only has functionality to spawn the clear Lab Mask and not any color variants. It's pretty much the only thing preventing me from having every item in the game at this stage.

PSA Regarding the Hardlight Sledge

This weapon is not categorized as a real Blunt or heavy weapon type despite granting Blunt skill experience when used. The wiki actually confirms this - it deals Plasma/Laser damage instead of Blunt.

I've noticed this is a problem in a couple of scenarios - You cannot use it when striking the Kizz Cola vending machine to make it dispense The Bad Soda.

I'm fairly certain you cannot use this weapon to obtain the Rat Pack from Lab Rats either. I thought I was farming dozens of Lab Rats using the appropriate strategy of netting them and KOing them with a blunt weapon, but it simply wasn't dropping. I switched to using the Impact Hammer and after that it seems to drop every single time.
