The Henry Fonda figure is quite outstanding in it's similarities to character portrayed by him in the film. Well done Emilio !
Although it's a range I'm trying to avoid, I can't collect them all ! {sm4}
it does seem to me, perhaps it's the angle of the photos, but on the troopers, I'm not so keen on the shape of their kepi's, seems a bit steep an angle and crown too small to me, just looks a bit odd !
Though someone who has a good knowledge of this era may well come back with a refute. As I say not a line I collect by Kronprinz nor am I an expert on the era !

The color pic shows the contemporary NCO chevrons , the black and white shown the 1870 NCO chevrons, as you can see they are inverted

That would be a negative. The US Army NCO chevrons of the time were inverted when compared to today. However, again, this would be accurate for NCO ranks of the era.
For reference,

The idea is to commercialize the stage coach in several blocks, to achieve two objectives. .-Make your purchase easier, by not presenting the complete product, very expensive
.- Allow each collector to build the model he wants.
the vehicle without passengers would be one of those blocks
passengers, in groups of two or three figures, with the possibility of combining different drivers and escorts, and different passengers with different attitudes
the horses, in pairs, standing, walking, or galloping.
In this way, different references could be combined, to place the stage coach stop in front of the hotel or the post stop, entering the town, fleeing the attack of the Indians by reconstructing "the stage coach" scene of John Ford, or being robbed by bandits. In addition, the vehicle would be marketed in various colors and with the logos of different companies
