The reflexive largely appears in the middle voice, amd a reflexive pronoun is generally used.  I see no usage by Paul of hEURISKW in the sense "to be present" anywhere in his corpus.

KAI SCHMATI hEUREQHS hWS ANQRWPOS, ETAPEINWSEN hEAUTON 



GENOMENOS hUPHKOOS MECRI QANATOU  (Phil. 2:7)



Do list members think it's fair to treat hEUREQHS as reflexive, thus, "And
finding himself in the shape of a human being"?



Or, following familiar LXX usage of the passive participle of hEURISKW (e.g.
2 Chron. 29:29, passim), does it approach "to be present", thus:



"And being present in the form of a human being.."
