You're going to hate me for saying this, but wouldn't it be easier to
find a DOS/Windows box with undelete?  Maybe even a copy of Norton
Utilities...

A quick Google search turned up this:

Oh, and if the files are contiguous in the image, I suppose you could
do something like this:

perl -e \
 '$/="ffd8";while (<>){open(JPG,">".++$n.".jpg") or die "$!"; print JPG $/.$_;}'

Just be sure to discard 1.jpg, since it won't contain anything useful.
