This is a job I promised myself I’d have a do at & I had one destined for the experiment, now I haven’t a clue where it is.
If it can’t be done your going to need a fresh one but practically anything that’s been made can be taken apart & the time taken is proportional to your success.
The f light comes apart easily & the individual lamps jack into holders, why the design changed is a question to be addressed to the designer. From what I can remember they are ultrasonicaly welded front to back & that weld is a weak spot, in the past I’ve split items not dissimilar to this by judicious twisting & tapping with a mallet (I have small mallets!).
Give it a crack, quite literally, if your going to have to buy a replacement your not going to be any worse off & potentially quids in.
