Hi there.......regarding the Dragoons who were considered as quite Elite
and each regiment was very distinctive from the other
a few points of note the Blue on the coat is not dark but a mid-blue
and OFFICERS would have worn a similar single breasted coat with
Silver buttons and appointments.....piping edge was mid blue to the
facing colour.
1st Reg  SCARLET
2ND Reg Daffodil yellow
3rd mid Grey
hope that helps.............
