FRC 3s Mameluke


This is a comparison shot - the two figures on the left (the unpainted ones) are FRC 3s Mamelukes from the French Revolution and Egyptian Campaign Range, while the two painted figures on the right are Guard mamelukes from the general French Napoleonic range.
Identifying characteristics for the Egyptian Campaign figures are that they have a small round shield carried on their left arm and a musket slung on their backs.
I think the Guard Mamelukes are much more common in circulation, although Napoleon himself never had more than about 200 of them.
