Laptop external screen shows rodent [SOLVED]

I brought another laptop into the fold, this one was a hand me now.
The problem is that on the laptop screen there is a gorgeous MX background, but on the external screen there is a blue background with a rodent.
How can I export that default MX screen?
I already have switched to the external display from the laptop.

What is the external display that you are using (make, model)?

It's not in any choice I have in desktop backgrounds.
What's crazy is that it loads the background in the external display and then replaces it.
My external display is a Samsung 24 inch T24C300

On the monitor with the mouse wallpaper, right-click and choose Desktop Settings. It probably has "Xfce" selected as the wallpaper folder. Click on that, choose "Backgrounds". You will see the available MX-19 wallpapers.

Hello Sparky and All
When in secondary Desktop Settings choosing wallpaper background
amongst all the settings like stretch, zoom, center, fit, tile
select "Tile" to see if that puts the same picture on [both] the secondary display (?)

I didnt find it, but When I went to the folder 'backgrounds' instead of XFCE were it was by default and chose tiled, I found some nice MX screens so I chose one. But the new 19.2 MX default looks amazing, I wish I could get that.
BTW, Thanks JayM for the tip.

You don't need "Tiled". i_ri was incorrect. I provided a link for him that explains the difference between tiled, stretched, centered, and so on. The default is "stretched" so you should set it at that. I don't know what you think the default MX-19.2 wallpaper is that you like so much but all available wallpapers are there.
Also, If this is solved to your satisfaction, could you please edit your original post #1 at the very top of the topic by clicking the pencil tip icon, the one circled in red in my screenshot image below (yours won't have the red circle)
and add SOLVED at the front of the subject? This will make it easier for others when they search the forum looking for a solution to the same problem. Thanks.

No matter what I try stretched, zoomed, it makes no difference, I suspect it's in another folder.

Hello Sparky
i_ri is incorrect. The xfce settings adjust only the window that it is in and no other. I slipped a cog. I did not aim to be misleading. I apologize for wasting your time.
