Currently painting a unit of French Revolutionary/Early Line Infantry. Noticed that within the set, there are French Voltiguers (

On my reading around their uniforms, there is little indication whether within line regiments, voltiguers during this earlier period still wore the earlier carabinier uniform (blue uniform and breeches, white piping, red facing), the same uniform, but with yellow/green facings as later light infantry (

Basically what I'm trying to say (if any of this made sense), is what clothing pattern did French light companies in line units use pre-shako and pre-1806 issue?
