By original skins you mean download http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/war3-model-editor-62876/, open MPQ browse your war3.MPQ war3x.MPQ war3patch.MPQ and there in textures or other folders like units within the MPQ you can see all blizz files. Units and their textures are in war3.MPQ for bear, and hawk go to folder Units\NightElf\DruidOfTheClaw\ or something,,

You can see paths from the war3 editor like when you change a unit's model you see the paths of the war3 models

War3.MPQ
Units\NightElf\DruidOfTheClaw\DruidOftheclaw.mdx
Units\NightElf\DruidOfTheClaw\DruidOftheclaw.blp

Hawk - War3x.MPQ
units\creeps\WarEagle\WarEagle // use also war3 viewer to convert blp to tga and then edit the tga as you like then convert back to blp

doh
