Are there any major uniform differences between Manchu and green banner troops? Such as headwear as I cannot find any info online.

Unfortunately that article has nothing about the uniforms they wore, I'"m tring to find out if there where any major uniform differences between the manchu banners and the han ones.

The main difference was about the headdress. For more info, the Osprey books about China and the Taiping rebellion are a goldmine of informations. If you want to delve further into the period, the Foundry book about Chinese armies is compulsory  ;)
"The enemy? His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is, where he came from. And if he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home. If he would not rather have stayed there ... in peace. War will make corpses of us all."

With all this experience in Qing dynasty costumes you could also produce a hopping vampire ;) which would be useful for adventure in modern periods!
