thanks to all ........ I will try to do the best!
just a clarification: .... the stripes on the pants are black perhaps for infantry and red for graduates ...?? .... or the opposite?!?
thanks again .....

Just black for the Rifle Brigade I thought, all their uniforms were a variation of green and black as far as I know, I didn't think Rifle Brigade had any red but I'm sure somebody will know for sure.

And just to add to the confusion this doesn't show any stripes on the trousers!

not being familiar with figure is it in parade uniform ?

Green with Black facings and braid, Black buttons too (not Silver as for Napoleonic era) for a Rifle Brigade (ex 95th) chap during the Crimea.

The 60th Rifles had Red facings, along with some other differences, (pattern of the jacket etc), but this fellow can't belong to them as they never served on the Crimea.
