Empress Miniatures Siberian Papakha Style?

[thestoats]

Hey everyone,
I love the ARES28 WW1 Russians sold by Empress Miniatures, but am a bit confused about the headwear of packs 6 and 7 (pictures attached). Obviously the figures in packs 4 and 5 have the standard obr. 1910 papakha. However, the soldiers in packs 6 and 7 wear taller and thicker papakhas without the obr. 1910's rear folding flap. I believe these could represent the heavier papakhas of the Siberian rifle regiments, but I wasn't sure if these continued being issued throughout the war, as I've seen photographs of Siberian soldiers wearing the standard obr. 1910 papakha. Also, how common was it to wear these Siberian-style papakhas in warmer weather?

I am also a big fan of the minis and have them at home, but haven't painted them yet.
I explained it to myself that the depiction of different headgear in the Russian army was perhaps intended to explain the lack of materials. Also the fact that the fur hat was not only worn in winter. There are many photos from that time and earlier (Russian-Japanese War) where soldiers are wearing these fur hats.

@waterproof Good point on the Russo-Japanese War papakha/manchzurka being worn in warm weather, but I had assumed that was because there was no other papakha available at the time besides those in the Siberian style. On the other hand, during the Great War the obr. 1910/1913 papakha was already introduced to everyone.

You're prob right that the papakha worn by the figures in packs 6 and 7 are some ersatz model though, as I looked into it more and the older Siberian version was apparently abolished in 1910.

Also, could you please send those photos of the Siberian papakha being worn in warm weather during the Great War? I'd love to add those to my collection if possible!
