Greetings vW,
Have looked at the Mollo prints, your Officer could be the from the 1st, 3rd or 8th regiment which all had red ish colour / cuffs facings.
The depicted trooper looks like it's the 5th regiment which had light blue.
Most of the illustrated plates and painted figures I have seen have depicted regiments with red facings. Kaiser Franz etc.
So was the lace around the cuirass always red for officers regardless of regiment or matched to the regimental facing colour?
Likewise the troopers, white / plain or matching regiment, facing colour?
As I only have an Osprey as a guide and the images on the net I have found
always seem to depict the Kaiser Franz it's unclear to me.
I think there are enough Archdukes out there to easily answer this.
This French site is the best I have come across, but I don't Per Le francis,
perhaps someone could translate to answer my question.

Let me know.
Cheers
