... good question.
It's difficult to tell : I personally think the infantryman is from a Line Battalion of the King's German Legion, and he's from a Light Company, as for the wounded cavalryman : he's painted as one of the 10th Hussars, but the "frame" on the front of the dolman is missing : look at David Grieve's hussar figure to see what I mean (you can find this kit for sale on Debra Raymond's website). The red shako indicates the 10th Hussars anyway (the 10th were the only British Hussars wearing shako's at Waterloo).

hope this helps,

Johan
