To get the source code of 13.10's Unity:
 apt-get source unity
Then compile as outlined here: https://web.archive.org/web/20170818041556/https://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/development/unity/

For the patches that remove icons, empty the following file:
 unity-7.1.2+13.10.20131014.1/tests/test_launcher_controller.cpp
(or rewrite the test, or figure out how to properly disable tests)
