Zapping by I see the changing of the guard is coming up, so let's have a brief look at uniforms.

These soldiers are dragoons, light dragoons to be exact and as such the are armed with carbines, Mausers.
Being light dragoons they are issued with sabres and not the heavier pallask, i.e. a straight, single-edged sword.
Dragoons were initially mounted infantry, or rather rapid-deployment-forces armed with full length muskets. Later on they evolved into all-purpose cavalry and later on to light and heavy dragoons. So light dragoons are all-purpose lighter cavalry.
The uniforms are directly inspired by 1800's Prussian uniforms.
The soldiers in dark uniforms are infantry of the line and armed with Mauser rifles. They are also inspired by 1800's Prussian uniforms.
There are four Swedish guards units. Can't remember the names off hand, but they are: light dragoons, infantry of the line, grenadiers and cuirassiers.
