Rui,
       Googling confirms that as the basic uniform of the Rurales.  I’m sure there would be some personal customizing though.

Possibly not in their early years......

"Esto daba a entender que el gobierno deseaba monopolizar la política de seguridad y hacerse presente a través de un contingente que a la vista cualquiera pudiera reconocer, pues además de estar montadas con “buenos caballos” y con “sillas del país”, su indumentaria quedaría compuesta de pantalón, chaqueta de cuero, y un sombrero que visiblemente mostrara la leyenda: “Seguridad pública”


"This implied that the government wanted to monopolize the security policy and be present through a contingent that anyone could recognize in sight, because in addition to being mounted on "good horses" and with "country saddles", their clothing would fit composed of pants, leather jacket, and a hat that visibly displayed the legend: "Public Safety."

From the following thesis precis.

I suspect the answer would possibly be found in Vanderwood's Los Rurales Mexicanos if you can track down a copy.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Thank you for your answers and help.
From what i´ve read so far the picture illustrates the common uniform although not confirmed if in use on the period in question so i will stick with the picture i posted and probably follow that as painting guide.
It looks nice. ;) :D
