Searching on debian.org for linux-headers-4.7 didn't return anything either. Can anyone shed any light on why I can find the kernel image but not the sources for this version?
Linux 4.7 packages and have been superseded by 4.8 and removed from stretch and jessie-backports.
You can see the linux-image-4.7 only because it is still installed on your system. As you can see from apt-cache policy above, it is no longer available in the Debian repository, just as any other linux-*-4.7 packages.
I guess you can get linux-headers-4.7 packages from the snapshot repository, or you can upgrade to Linux 4.8.
