Västergötland Province combined Regt of Horse, third and fifth draft, trooper 1710 with Halland company standard. The cloak lining is of 'aurora' hue.
Uppland Province combined Regt of Horse, third draft, trooper 1709 with an Östergötland company standard. These combined regiments were composed of companies raised in several provinces, reflected in their standards. This explains the otherwise unexpected 'wrong' arms within a unit.
Uppland province combined Regt of Horse, fifth draft, trooper 1710 with company standard of 1703. Company standards were blue with Uppland, Närke and Västmanland arms respectively.

Horse (Indelt - Provincial) - Double Allotment etc

Smålands 'third draft' regt, other ranks 1708. The regiment combining companies raised from Kronoberg, Jönköping and Kalmar.
Uppland-Västmanland-Dalarna combined 'third draft' regiment, other ranks. 3 of 7 company colours wore Västmanland arms.

Foot (Garnisons- & Guvernörsregt - Garrisons & Governors)

27 Pins
Småland province Regiment of Horse, trooper 1709. Cloaks' lower front corners could be hooked up behind the back to ease movement.
Västgöta Regt of Horse, trooper 1700-1713. This is an alternative way of wearing the breastplate but as the regular coat (justeaucorps!) would be quite tight, it would prove difficult to button it. This style is most often displayed in portraits of senior officers. There is mention of tailoring cavalry coats wider than infantry coats, presumably for this reason. The 1686 pattern standards were issued in 1703 and were carried until 1713, when the older ones were re-issued.
South Scania Regiment of Horse, trooper 1709. It is tempting to assume that the light blue camisole started service as the light blue coat of the 1701 issue.

Horse (Indelt - Provincial)

18 Pins
Viborg province Regt, underofficer (NCO) with 1686 pattern company colours, issued 1706. According to Törnquist, the laurel leaves were silver rather than the green of the model drawing.
Viborg province Regt, other ranks 1716. The camisole is cloth rather than chamois.

39 Pins
The Queen's Household Regt of Horse ('Garde du Corps')(Estonia), trooper 1700 with company standard from 1677, used until lost at Reval in 1710. This style would have fit the previous Danish war. Blue coats were worn in 1708 at least.
Pomeranian Regt of Horse, underofficer (NCO) with company standard issued new in 1702.
Pomeranian Regt of Horse, trumpeters 1702. The source says they wore a 'bröstlapp' or soubreveste and I tried to illustrate it in two ways; a simple short one or a French style long one buttoned up the sides.

Horse (Värvat - Recruited)

7 Pins
Nobility Regt of Horse, Sweden, Finland, Scania, trumpeteer
Nobility Regt of Horse, Livonia, trooper 1709. Wearing the cuirass under the coat required a wider tailoring but allowed the comfort of a padded vest underneath
Nobility Regt of Horse, Estonia and Ingria, trooper 1700. The standard carried from 1678 was likely very similar to the one shown, preserved from the Swedish Nobility Cavalry

1 Pin

Vietinghoff's (aka Barth's) Regt of Dragoons, dragoon 1715
Verden Regt of dragoons, underofficer (NCO) 1703. The coat is narrowly double breasted (reminding of Danish style) and these buttons are cloth covered which would seem a 'civilian' practice.
