Very nice Martyn. I have never seen that set before.
Crimean War-Royal Marines-Light Infantry
Boxer
Martyn: They are different figures. Mike of Trophy of Texas said he and Len talked about the same thing. Len said that the Highlanders were wearing sporrans during the Indian Mutiny but Wellington would not let them wear these at Waterloo. I will post a photo of some 92nd Highlanders(Gordons) in white tunics. The wounded figure on the ground has a sporran.Thanks Tommy.
On checking with the MKL catalogue they appear to be repaints of WA15 and WA58 from the NAPOLEON and WATERLOO SERIES
Cheers

One of Set DO1T(24 figures) wounded; DO3T King's Colour and D04T Regimental Colour, all of the 92nd Highlanders(Gordons) in India(White Tunics). Note the Sporran on the wounded figure which the Highlanders wore in India but not at Waterloo per Wellington's orders.
