What are the two elements of the backpack/rucksack on the Napoleonic Russian infantry in greatcoat and what colour are they?

Exactly - Backpack and canteen.   It's what all the illustrations show.  Speaking personally, and from hard earned experience, putting something squashable strapped to the outside of a pack is asking for it to be flattened and lost very quickly...
 


I have plans.   I am dangerous when I have plans...
