I had previously found the source document for some of the Persian soldiers that appear in George Gush's Renaissance Warfare (http://warfare.gq/Renaissance/18_Easterners.htm). It is Dr. Kaempfer's Album of Persian Costumes and Animals, 1684-5, painted by Jani. (http://warfare.ml/Persia/Kaempfer_Album.htm)
The musketeers, Gush figures e & f, are from page 09 a royal bodyguard and a musketeer. Dr. Kaempfer's Album of Persian Costumes (http://warfare.ml/Persia/Kaempfer_Album-09-Musketeers.htm) The clothes and poses are nearly identical.
Gush figure a is from page 016 Cavalryman. Dr. Kaempfer's Album of Persian Costumes (http://warfare.ml/Persia/Kaempfer_Album-16-Cavalryman.htm)
and figure c is from page 08 a palace usher. Dr. Kaempfer's Album of Persian Costumes (http://warfare.ml/Persia/Kaempfer_Album-08-Bodyguard_and_Usher.htm)
I have recently found the source of George Gush's 3rd Persian musketeer, Emperor Timur's Ambassador in the Presence of Sultan Bayezid Yıldırım ("the Thunderbolt"), 1599-1600AD, an Ottoman manuscript painting in: British Library. Ms. Or. 5736, folio 172b (http://warfare.ml/Ottoman/BL_Or_5736-f172b-Timurs_Ambassador.htm)
It includes three Persians with muskets at bottom right.
