The documentation is there that the men wore the old flat blue bonnet, with a small blue pom on top (plus black cockade, black bear tuft & bonnet badge).
There is a possibility that some officers late in the war did wear the Kilmarnock as shown.
That's a Company of Military Historian's plate; the artist is H. Charles McBarron, the "grand old man" of military artists. McBarron did a number of works for the US Army (The American Soldier, Our Army in Action, etc.) -- you'll still find them in National Guard Armories and antique shops.
