Side impact sensor - offside ?????

My car is a 2001 v6 conny . I have just started getting an airbag warning light up on the dash so I used Toaf as a diagnostic method and got :
9144 Side sensor right - communication
9142 Side sensor right - plausibility
Seems clear enough , I thought , the impact sensor . I have previously replaced the n/s one a good few years ago . However RAVE gave me contradicting info , showing it both on the inside of the sill , and also on the front of the seat cross-member .I think the later orange one is meant to be on the sill , and the earlier green one on the cross member ?
However , having undone the o/s seat and tipped it back I then made a cautious surgical cut in the carpet to allow me to force it up and have a look and a feel underneath . I can't find any sign of the impact sensor

I can't see if it is under the plastic airduct which passes under the seat here , but can't feel anything .
Can anyone confirm that my model actually has an o/s sensor , and where is it ? Also , will it be part no. YDB100310 , as opposed to YDB000310

I am a bit puzzled here .....
