90% right.

It's interesting that in the Austerlitz painting, there are men wearing turbans. Sepoys probably?

I don't think it fits the setting however, anyone could give anything on this?

Certainly possible, the Mamluks did serve well at Austerlitz.

In the painting, their clothing looks very simple however. Too simple for the Imperial Guard?

Ganghwa Incident, Korea 1875.

This picture was drawn by a Japanese artist depicting the Ganghwa Incident in which Japanese soldiers occupied a Korean coastal fort on the island of Ganghwa following the decision to fire at the Japanese ship near the Korean island. I like this picture as it depicts modern war and technology in a traditional Japanese art style, which is sort of symbolic of what Japan was like in the 1870's.

Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi 1863.

This was drawn by an American artist depicting the brutal Siege of Vicksburg during the American Civil War. On one hand, the picture shows the horror of war, with trenches, mortar shells, and men dying on the ground, but on the other hand, the picture is very colorful, and almost sort of 'romanticizes' the war.

Battle of Adwa, Ethiopia 1895.

This picture was drawn by an Ethiopian artist depicting the Battle of Adwa. I like this picture for the same reason as the Ganghwa Incident one, it is drawn in a traditional African (Specifically Ethiopian) style, yet depicts modern weapons and warfare.
