You will notice from illustrations that with the infantry, by and large differ in the cut of the coat and the type of tricorn (ie flat Prussian or the usual more pronounced front corner). Cavalry types it tends to be headgear, eg there were two Swedish hussar regiments - one wore a Prussian style mirliton whilst the other wore an Austrian style busby. A little goes a long way |
