Intended as a resource to help identify vintage wargames figures before posting them more publicly on the Hinton Hunter, Old Metal Detector, or Lone S Ranger blogs

Unknown hussars
These two hussars seem to be the same manufacturer, by style and from the horse. Does anyone know what the figures are and who the manufacturer is?
top figure, i've got a couple of regts of these, pics of this fig has appeared in several early books on wargaming back in late '60s and early'70s possible maker Garrison or Greenwood and Ball, think from a SYW range, mine are painted as Nap Spanish Hussars and SYW Prussians
Don't think these are Garrison. On Garrison 20mm Napoleonic cavalry, the left arm is moulded into the body, not extended as here. The top horse is similar to an early Garrison horse, but not one I recognise - I seem to recall Warrior used a similar style?
I am intending to use this site to post pictures for identification help before blogging them publicly on the Hinton Hunter, Old Metal Detector or Lone S Ranger sites. You can use the comments feature to respond and see any ideas others have left. If you want to post pictures here for others to help with, let me know and I can arrange the right to post. I won't be publicising the site in general, it's really to enable us to do this on line rather than by e-mail and hopefully with higher definition pictures. The site is invitation only but I am happy to invite anyone you think may be interested to join.
