The bearskin bag is the color of the regt's facing piped in the regt's button color, if I recall correctly. Since the grenadiers were brigaded to form composite bns, each company's bearskin bag color would be different.

I also knew this version, but in some paintings and drawings I have noticed that the Austrian Grenadiers shako the back of the yellow, while the Hungarians are not able to find news
