Sorry - I do SYW in 6mm, and I really can't tell the difference!

Look at the tricorn. The Prussian tricorn had a much less pronounced front than any other nation, It was on its way to becoming a bicorn.

Docked tails strongly suggest British cavalry, turnbacks would be fairly common to all armies in the SYW.
