Don't forget this is apache, it has been busy rewriting your directory paths as 
it generates the web pages. It could quite easily be getting the icons from 
other locations. Try doing a 'find' to identify other icon locations in your 
system. Perhaps there are symlinks in your /var/www, /var/www/html or 
/var/www/html/mythweb directories?
