Does anyone on the site have any pictures of the rifle and/or bucket?? the rifle sat in whilst not in use by the 17th Lancers?
I hope that makes sense? Any help no matter how small would be much appreciated. Its for the oil painting I'm working on.

Thank you 24th. Am I right in assuming its a Martini Henry Carbine?
