Basically the way to support this is to use a LESS mixin to provide them conditionally.

.background-image-svg(@SVG, @fallback) exists, but that only works for background-images over css, here a <img> is used.

Switching those <img>s to something more semantically correct would enable using the background-image, that should be pretty straightforward.

Switch from CSS to LESS and use MediaWiki's SVG fallback LESS function
