I don't have a definative source, but a quick Google image search shows various toy soldiers in either standard looking Egyptian whites and red fez/tarbush with blue putees or white tunic and blue trousers. I'm assuming this is for 1884/5 - I suspect for the later campaigns it would be khaki trousers and brown jerseys.

Castaway Arts make figures for the 1880s:
