The regulation for the white uniforms were not precise in some details such as cuff flaps, piping and turnbacks so many possible interpretations were done by regimenta tailors at that time. In the case of the 33rd. regiment many sources and researches conclude that turnbacks were in the facing colour.

 





 
The light company wore the distinctive yellow collar and epaulettes which could be green or yellow, and in the case of this regiment sources indicate they were yellow. Distincitve hunting horns cut on yellow cloth were attached to the turnbacks.
 
Musicians wore the white uniform with the facing colour parts trimmed in yellow cloth and a distinctive clover leaf epaulettes.
