Prussian 1815 mounted officers

Many of the Prussian general, staff, and field officers in the later Napoleonic period wore flat caps rather than the more formal cocked hats or shakos. Blucher himself would be one example. Sone senior officers from other armies wore similar soft caps--the Duke of Brunswick is usually depicted in a soft cap or bonnet, for example.

Is there any chance that these might be added to the Napoleonic line at some point? Has anyone seen figures in one of the other ranges that might subsitute? I've looked around but come up empty so far.

I used FPP11, Franco Prussian War. Just put the helmet guys in the lead pile to find a home sometime later.
