Not really, they where kitted out and uniformed in American kit, including weapons if memory serves.

The Commissar is right. 

With the exception of the CW contingent (and even that with some caveats) all UN troops were officially kitted and equipped by the US to ease logistical hurdles. So except for units with specific unit badges worn in combat everyone looked US...

Empress WW2 US troops in winter gear are a good approximation for the Battalion de Coree. At least for Chipyong-ni.
