Both France and England also used a different color or type of hat lace to distinguish sergeants from corporals and private soldiers.

For the British Army:
Infantry of the line, a silk epaulette on the right shoulder (aka a shoulder knot).
Foot Guards – as infantry of the line
Horse – narrow gold or silver lace on lapels, turn-ups of sleeves and pocket and shoulder straps.
Dragoon Guards and Dragoons – narrow gold or silver lace on turn-ups of sleeves and round the shoulder straps, Shoulder cords yellow or white silk.
Artillery – two worsted shoulder knots.

For the Prussians NCOs had black and white quartered pompoms, no shoulder strap, cuffs edged with golden lace braids. yellowish leather gloves and a black and white sabre tassel

Now I am not sure if this applied to Gefreiters but pretty sure it was used by Feldwebels and Unteroffiziers

Corporals in the army of Mother Russia had gold lace on their collar

Not sure about the Austrian whitecoats
