Ok Ok...the French naval Infantry during the Napoleonic wars were called Naval Artillery Regiments not marines. These figures are produced by Steve Barber Models and have been painted on behalf of someone else who will provide the basing for them. Roughly 32 figures is what I painted of these and have included a small sampling of them as they are probably not run of the mill figures many people would have. For uniforms my understanding was the normal french blue coat and pants with red waistcoat and lapels so here they are.....

Thanks for sharing; these chaps figures prominently in Marmont's Corps in 1813; I just might have to get a unit or two of these figures! Some uniform details are a bit uncertain, but definitely blue coats and pants, red epaulettes
Yes uniform info was hard to come by…..the Wikipedia page what I went with….none of my library of sources had much of anything.
The figures are not bad by Steve Barber….i have never seen his figures before ….the facial detail was really nice for painting.
