The Officer's cuirass should be copper, I think.

Nice
But colonel of what ?

 

[Tonton]

Carabiniers.

 

[Mirofsoft]

Thanks
so yes officer cuirass and helmet : copper ( it seems )

 

[Gaudin]

Indeed, cuirasse was usually copper, as well as helmet - but not always
I am more unsure about this bright blue " forget me not " colour of the fabrics. Reference attached

whole box art seems very blank, basic colours, as if just painted directly out of paint pot and I don't think it gives credit to what seems like a good sculpture underneath.
