You should be able to locate them with a command like this:

$ find /path/to/mount/point -type f -name \*.jpg -print | less

This says, "find, under the /path/to/mount/point directory, files that
are plain files (type f - file), named anything ending in .jpg
(*.jpg), print what you find where I can see it, and give it to me in
a pager (less)."
