You are correct on some of the odditys you caught. And yes, no green facings, this was for Regt with Royal designation. I think the mix up is the word "Fraser". The 78th Fraser's were during the Seven Year's War (what you Americian's call the French and Indian War), and the 71st Fraser's were during the Americian Revolution. My 5th Great grandfather was a solider with the 71st. The link I gave was to history which the 78th took part in, but someone there screwed up and posted a picture of the other "Fraser's" the 71st. Here is a better link of a member of the 78th Fraser's. The tartan however is wrong, as the 78th wore Fraser, and a generation latter the 71st wore Goverement Issue (Black Watch). So in reguard to tartan in the print SWC picked up would be correct for the 78th.
