Possibly inaccurate representatons of British Guardsme, but perhaps foreign troops? Danish?

A lot of scraps were produced abroad, notably in Germany, I think, somehow these don't look as if they were produced in Britain:

Coldstream Guardsman?. If so, an inaccurate representation, particularly the cuffs & collar.

Again, to me it looks as if it's produced abroad:

Victorian era Kettle Drummer of The Life Guards, in State Dress ("VR" cypher on chest etc) - remind me, how do you tell the 1st Life Guards & 2nd Life Guards apart - one had red powder flask cords, the other blue, the amalgamated "Life Guards" wear a red powder flask cord.

In State Dress was it one with blue showing amongst the gold of the "tunic", one with red?

Did the colour of the drummer's horse vary with the 1st & the 2nd?
