If you ignore the bit about North America, then painted as they are, they could also stand in for the 20th Foot. That's how I've been painting mine.

And if you paint, you can just buy the kits and paint them for any unit you choose.

Prost!

Takinmg some images of the figures, the colours are clearly for the 44th Regiment!
So answering my own question. It had not occurred to me to look at the Regimental flag! :rolleyes2:

44th Regiment of Foot

The regiment was raised by Colonel James Long as James Long's Regiment of Foot in 1741. The regiment saw active service at the Battle of Prestonpans in September 1745 during the Jacobite rising. Ranked as the 55th Regiment of the Line in 1747, the regiment was renamed the 44th Regiment of Foot in 1751[SUP]][/SUP] It embarked for North America in January 1755 for service in the French and Indian Wa[SUP]r[/SUP] and took part in the Battle of the Monongahelawhere Colonel Sir Peter Halkett was killed while commanding the regiment.The regiment went on to fight at the Battle of Carillon in July 1758 and the Battle of Fort Niagara in July 1759 before returning home in 1765.

Later it returned to North America, but by then the uniform details would have been different...
The regiment returned to North America landing in Boston in 1775 for service in the American Revolutionary War. It saw action at the Battle of Brooklyn in August 1776, the Battle of Brandywine in September 1777 and the Battle of Germantown in October 1777 as well as the Battle of Monmouth in June 1778. In May 1780 the regiment moved to Canada returning home in September 1786. In 1782, most British regiments of foot were given county designations, and the regiment became the 44th (the East Essex) Regiment of Foot.​
