Can you find this plate from Hairspray?

I am intrigued by this plate of a teen on the telephone from a scene from Hairspray. It looks like a Ponytail plate, but I'm no expert and can't find an example of it on etsy, eBay, or on pinterest. Can you?

I can't find it (I'll keep looking as I love to look for things like this) but I think it might depict a teen wearing headphones rocking out to music not a teen on the telephone. It's hard to tell for sure but maybe that will help with further searches.

Different screencap from IMDB that's slightly clearer- it looks like a telephone to me.

Ponytail plates seem to feature the brand name prominently, and I'm not seeing that in any of the Hairspray set pictures. I suppose it could be greeked?

How did I never realize Jerry Stiller was in Hairspray?
