I found a PDF that said it was in a BBC documentary on the Spanish Civil War, but I don't see it in any pictures.

Fixed the pic link but thats not the one, that helmet just says "CNT FAI" in a sloppy positioned way.
I have heard about the pic the OP is looking for, ill dig around.

edit: found the mention in an article here: http://issuu.com/agamsterdam/docs/da25english/10?e=7378386/1484941 (page 7), it seems while its frequently mentioned in recent articles that the pic exists no'one actually seen it, the circle A that spanish anarchists used was a massonic looking symbol, the circle a as we know it seems to be first used in the 1960's or late 50's at best in france. (dutch version of the article with pictures here: http://issuu.com/agamsterdam/docs/da25web/7?e=7378386/1485669)
