Looking for 28mm French Troupes de Marines

[Black Cavalier]

I know of Dixon's nice Dahomey range that includes French Foreign Legion & Marines, but are there any others?

Primarily, I'm looking for pith helmeted infantry without a purpose built equipment belts like this

Askari has some french infantry with pith helmets, but they're in marching poses, & not terribly combative.

Someone suggested French from the Boxer Rebellion, but Redoubt's Boxer French don't have pith helmets, & Old Glory's packs have too many for what I need.

Also, any idea what the difference is between Dixon's FFL & Marine figures?  I've seen the pictures of them that someone posted here on LA about 2 years ago, but I couldn't really see any differences.

Thanks
