Images of various sources often contradict each other, and now, I think, no one knows 100% how it really was. Generalized material on the H-5 uniform on https://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=Ruesch_Hussars Here it is said about those very skulls:
In future plans, we have a figure of a hussar that can be used for other hussar regiments, of course, there will be no images on it. And with this, if dear customers do not agree with this picture, skulls can be easily removed. Thank you very much for your materials, we will definitely use them.View attachment 369601

Vladimir and Alexander
