It is possible, but these are not bmps. that's why you can't extract them. they are in tga format. You can open the file up in Actor (1 or 2 I'm not sure which one) and extract the images through actor. Also, when you want to put the sprite back together, you have to do it using actor since they are tga images.

The term recolor has no original link to TGA images, but 8 bits ones. 8 bit images have an additional file that stores color information, which is the so called palette or color table. An 8 bit image is a matrix of pixels with an index, a pointer to the color stored in the color palette (if the third color in the color palette is red, for example, a pixel with index 3 will be red). Color isn't stored in the image. Thus, modifying the color palette means the frames that read that color palette will change their color. This way you create recolors or palette swaps for animations (as can be seen in tons of retro games). 

 

Since TGA sprites aren't 8 bit, you can't make recolors. You can only modify the sprite by modifying each frame, because the color info is stored in each single frame.

Both, iirc.
