Using default Diplomacy Screen Background Images

Is it possible to use the existing diplomacy screen backgrounds when creating a leader without a 3D model (i.e. just a dds texture)?

Currently I'm defining a background image using the DiplomacyInfo table, but it doesn't look like the base game leaders have DiplomacyInfo entries, and I don't see a texture file anywhere for their backgrounds. Presumably their diplomacy scenes use a different system because they're animated? Providing no entry in DiplomacyInfo just results in a black background.

Alternatively, if there isn't a way to use the existing backgrounds, any advice on an easy way to create a decent looking background in the same style? I've been experimenting a bit with neural style transfer to convert photos/paintings to the existing style, but it's tough to get good results.
 
I use a custom background here

Code:
 <LoadingInfo>
    <Row LeaderType="LEADER_ALBUQUERQUE" ForegroundImage="Portugal_Foreground.dds" BackgroundImage="Portugal_Background.dds" ....
    <Row LeaderType="LEADER_JOAO_II" ForegroundImage="Portugal_Joao_Foreground.dds" BackgroundImage="Portugal_Joao_Background.dds"   ...
  </LoadingInfo>

 <DiplomacyInfo>
    <Row Type="LEADER_ALBUQUERQUE" BackgroundImage="Portugal_Diplomacy.dds"/>
    <Row Type="LEADER_JOAO_II" BackgroundImage="Portugal_Joao_Diplomacy.dds"/>
  </DiplomacyInfo>
