Sorry if I'm upsetting the apple cart but the man in the opening post is not 9th Lancers, he is 16th Lancers. The angle of the lance pennons is the clear giveaway.   Pete.

That's no problem, it's good to hear from experts from all angles! 

That narrows it down a bit, thanks.

Not at all, Pete, I do believe you’re right.  After squinting at the badge I felt I could make out the outline of the double digits athwart the lances just as you suggest.  It also explains why the contrast of the plastron seems more apparent because of the scarlet tunic.  Good spot!
