Not really: the poses and most of the equipment are the same but the differences will show up in the painting (plumes/epaulettes etc) but on the castings the badge on the giberne varies as below:


Grenadier in shako, Grenadier in bearskin (both with grenade badge), Voltigeur (hunting horn badge), lastly what I think is the same pose but as a bog standard Fusilier (no sabre/sling with the bayonet being incorporated into the giberne strap and pompom rather than plume)

The full range is impressive:

Absolutely correct - these are different troops at the same pose. There are two points, which makes voltigeurs looks differ that grenadiers - badge at the ammo pouch and double barrel ring on the musket ('dragoon pattern), while grenadiers uses common infantry pattern musket.
And we have fusiliers at the similar poses - an NCO and two privates:

... gosh: at 28mm that is real attention to detail

Fusilier/Grenadier:


Voltigeur:



I understand that their underwear was a different shade of grey as well
