Freebooter and Pattern14, thanks for the info, Freebooter it does seem to be some form of tube , with fur wrapped around, am looking at uniforms and think it would be around 1870, had a quick look today and looked in to some campaigns and found info on Abyssinia 1968.

Think this fits the bill as the 3rd Dargoon gaurds were there, still needs research so if anyone else has any clue,s let me know.
