First of all I take it you are talking about the Marine Artillery men from the ships and costal artillery units, yes? Such like Régiment d'Artillerie de la marine?

As far as I know they had the 6 company formation but no Voltigeur and Grenadier Companies. Also Burkhard may have to say something about it as he posted here some of his painted units.
