Almost finished my 'core' army for the Indian Mutiny and now beginning to doubt about some things. The cap pouches worn by the Bengal Native Infantry were… 1) white often shown as white 2) brown as shown in an Osprey, described by French 3) both as for example in the Iron Duke gallery Thanks for any help!

I checked The Indian Army by Boris Mollo and the two contemporary illustrations of the BNI during the Mutiny period show brown.
