Looking for good pictorial references for the above.  Planning some figures to fill the obvious gaps.  All help greatly received.

Many thanks in advance

Waziristan/Third Afghanistan is covered in the Foundry 'Risings and Rebellions' book, with some decent line drawings showing mounted Baluchi, Afghan Regular, Afghan Militia and Afghan officers. It's quite light but does cover some British types too.

This guy has a fantastic reading list:

Might be something handy in there.

This has some nice plates, although earlier I bet things didn't change much amongst the tribesmen over 20 years:

Some interesting linkies (most with pictures), some more useful than others but some of the original photos have a good flavour to them anyway:
