This is what I completed with you help most appreciated. I also found the Von Bose re-enactor's site helpful.

The Brunswick drums will have a slightly different design I think - try this for Hesse Cassel:- http://www.vondonop.org/ Or if you have your Mollo/McGregor handy, try Plate 63, Musketeer Regt von Mirbach. I'm afraid I can't explain why one lot have blue/white diagonal stripes on the rim and the other red/white.
