There may be a better way, but I got this to work. You might want to play a
bit with the sizing of the image in the image control before you do the copy
since it is copying the whole image control - not sure how this will affect
background color and so forth.

Sub PasteAFace()
Dim cb_btn As CommandBarButton
Dim ictrl As MSForms.Image
Dim oleObj As OLEObject
Set oleObj = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add( _
ClassType:="Forms.Image.1", _
Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, _
Left:=193.5, Top:=185.25, _
Width:=66, Height:=63)
Set ictrl = oleObj.Object
With ictrl
.PictureSizeMode = fmPictureSizeModeZoom
.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\windows\winupd.ico")
End With
With oleObj
.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture
.Delete
End With

Set cb_btn = CommandBars("Custom 3").Controls(1)
cb_btn.PasteFace
End Sub
