I came by the attached 54mm figures through eBay bundled with some other stuff. They are Rose Miniatures according to the underneath of the base, which also has "1/2" engraved on it. The figures and bases are identical other than the heads. One has a Tam O'Shanter and the other what looks like a top hat with a side plume.

It is clear that these are the same AWI figure with a different head supplied. I have no other information other than they came in a dark red box. Anyone know what they're supposed to be? I am guessing Royal Marine and generic Highlander?
 
Hi, 4th C! Welcome to the Planet!
This is a good puzzle for your freshman post. I broke out my Rose catalogs to have a look. I found them in vol. 6 on pg. 56, under "British Troops - America Revolution" series.
The figure on the left is Rose's BAR 1Ge, Coldstream Guard and the other is Rose's BAR 1Se, Black Watch. I've attached a pic of the catalog page.
That particular catalog is from 1979, but the BAR figures were listed in a 1974 supplement.
Hope that helps, prosit!
Brad
