Not exaclty what you were looking for, but should work (rated at 100 amps, 220 volts, with a 7 volt coil, but works on reversed polarity, not impulse).

But.. Intellitec stuff is very well designed, as a lot of it is used on emergency vehicles.
Thank you. That will do it - I can wire for reversed polarity. OTOH, I'm now leaning towards the Intellitec.

I have one more box of relays in my junk box area to check. I vaguely recall seeing something similar to the flip flop solenoid relay I posted, but if I don't already have what I need stuck away in a corner, I'll probably go with the Intellitec.
Many thanks to all for the comments and links.
