Can anyone ID this figurine by SKU? I reached out to Hinchliffe UK with no response. I reviewed Hinchliffe's online catalog but there is no images. It also appears very similar to Edward "Willie" Suren 30mm mount from an Indian Battery set. It's uncanny. The Willie figurine is wearing a Cork Helmet and not a Sun Helmet. Thanks.

I thought a Ww1 Ottoman officer, but couldn't find it.

The only likely candidate would be PF9 Lord Roberts, but I've never seen a picture of that figure.

Oh yes, I still have that figure I'm fairly certain… somewhere around here. Hinchcliffe, from a British Colonial possibly Boer War range? It was a long time ago.

Tradition CT2 has a similar helmet, and build, but a different figure.

If the figure is from Edward "Willie" Suren, it is possible the casting could have been retooled slightly? It seems like it was a Turkish Cavalry Trooper or a British officer in charge of an Indian Gun Battery.
