I was always curious about this guy's uniform:
It says he's a sergeant on Osprey. Does anyone have any info on the enlisted/officers uniforms? It's the 33rd Moscow, I believe.
Every plate in an Osprey Men-at-Arms has a notation at the end.

D1: Sergeant, (33rd) Moskovski Regiment, 17th Division, Alma. (T), (S-294)This rather unusual uniform, based on a Vanson sketch and Hodasevich reference, shows a cloth képi-like shako with what appears to be a red cover and brown leather peak. The greatcoat, with scarlet collar and shoulder straps, is secured above the knees (B1). The cut-out division number shows the yellow cloth below. The section-chief's rank was indicated by gold lace on collar (and coatee cuffs) and three white wool stripes on the shoulder straps. Most peculiarly, the pantaloons arc described as scarlet, piped red. The leg part of the boots is tawny with the shoe part black. Both the Moscow and Butyrski Regiments served briefly under Don Cossack General Chomontoff in the Caucasus where they obtained this curious uniform. At Inkerman the Butyrski were mistaken
for the French, fired upon, and almost charged. One unlucky soldier was taken as a prisoner 10 Sevastopol, his captor refusing 10 believe that he was Russian."
There is no militia besides the Opolchenie. The other less-than-frontline-quality units like the "Garrison Units" and "Inner Guard" are not militia.

Internal Garrison officer, ranker, and NCO
The Tarutinsk Jaegers wore dark green with red piping like every other Jaeger regiment. Their overcoats were brown.
