Nice! Are those the same who later(1809-12?) wore some kind of Polish looking Headdress?

They got shakoes in 1812, the shakoes might look a little like some of the polish shakoes, as they flared a little at the top, so not as conical as the later French shakoes.

It's a good little document, and while it does cover Norway, it doesn't really cover Norwegian uniforms much except for grenadiers headgear.
And even in Norwegian it's hard finding info.
