Austrian Jagers 1859 or earlier?

These are my Lancashire (I think) 15mm Austrian Jagers. I was hoping to use them for 1866 but I think i will need to find jagers in greatcoats for that and the hats will need to be different . In the Osprey books The 1859 jagers are shown in white Waffenfrock but I've seen them elsewhere in the traditional grey. My grey is a  bit too dark and the figures are a little muddy from the  GW Nuln oil wash, so I'll tone it down next time. The fahren are surplus as I don't think the jagers carried their colours into battle if they even had them at all.
