Can You Identify This 19th Century Uniform?

Compatriot Gray of Camp 2160 in Australia has a photo of a uniform that he wants to identify.  He is not sure if it is a CSA uniform -- some unusual uniforms were worn by units on both sides of the war, e.g. the Zouaves.  If you can identify this uniform, please leave a message in the comments section of this post.

IDENTIFY THIS UNIFORM


In researching a new Confederate veteran, with the help of a descendant, I acquired several photos from her family album. The one shown here we are not sure about, but he looks like her ancestor at an earlier age.

Can you tell me anything about the uniform he is wearing?

Update:  I googled British army uniforms and the uniform appears to be British, circa 1870.  I found some photos of British soldiers wearing very similar hats and a photo of some British reenactors wearing a similar type of uniform. See these photos below the fold.   Hat tip Ken Koch of California Division, who identified the uniform as British.

Update 2:  The uniform jacket has been identified as a fur-lined "hussar's pelisse."  See photos below the fold for a color photo example.  The uniform is definitely British.
