These two figures were taken note of during a visit to South America in the late 50's and they may shed some extra light on these two uniforms and the Peruvian one go with the plate by J. Balaguer printed in El Dorado No 2, Vol.II on the modern dress of the "Husares de Junin".

While also showing a trooper of the Ecuadorian "Grenaderos de Tarqui a Caballo" of the same period. Fig. 1.

The Peruvian uniform was taken from one in the Peruvian Army Museum at Callao, this has various differences to Sr. Balaguers plate, maybe this one is from an earlier Dress Regulation?
