It is clear that some FL figures have significantly different sizes : 54mm, 60mm, 1/30th ...? .
For example, in the Napoleonic range, I had already noticed that French cuirassiers and Carabiniers
are noticeably undersized compared to other cavalries or soldiers.
Just see the attached photos with a cuirassier and a 1st light infantry soldier side by side:

What a pity for a heavy cavalry !.
So unfortunately, IMHO, it is not very realistic to mix them close to each other.
Even between different ranges, there are also some size differences.
Look at the attached photo with a prussian Landwehr and two late war germans :

Other brands have also size differences : William Britain, Thomas Gunn, JJD, King and Country, ... .
It must be due to the different engravers employed.
