Trophy Indian Army Regiments ID (1 Viewer)

I have three unboxed sets of Trophy's Indian Army Infantry series, so with no descriptive label to go by, I am not sure what regiments they represent. Does anyone know what regiments these are? Thanks.

3 - 45th Rattrays Sikhs



Did you get my PM?

Cheers

Hi Martyn,

Thank you Martyn, I figured that if anyone would know the answer that it would be you. You referred to the "early version of 20th Bengal Infantry." Just out of curiosity, how do the "later" version uniforms differ?

Yes, I got your PM and responded this morning.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks for the photos Martyn. That is quite a change: From dark brown turbans to lighter brown, from lighter brown tunics to darker brown, from blue trousers to khaki, from blue puttees to brown, and from white web gear to brown. I would have never recognized them as being from the same regiment.

Hi Mike

The later figures appear to be based on this picture taken of the 20th Bengal in Egypt in 1882.

I picked a few of these up recently but am not sure of the regiment. Maybe Bengals or Madras. Any help would be appreciated.
