Grey Iron Casting Co. Confederate Corporal question

Hi all,
This little guy is 7 1/2" tall and heavy at 3 Lbs.
I am pretty sure this was made by Grey Iron Casting Co. probably in the 1950's
I have found several and probably Were sold as a pair with one painted like a Union soldier. I have not found any with the added Chevron and stripes that would make
this guy a Corporal. Maybe that was added but the paint looks the same as the rest of it to my eyes. Just wondering, do you think he was made originally as a Corporal?

The same color red is used for the stripe on his pants as the chevron. Not applied carefully too. In your link there is no stripe so I would assume it was add by the original owner, who had a preference for that rank.

Looking at your link to the bookends, I guess it was true that bothers fought against brothers during the Civil War. They clearly are twins.

 

Yes they are the same mold. That is what makes me wonder if they were painted several different ways and not just soldiers.

With a gun in hand, you might be able to make a woodsman or other, but the Distinctive Civil War cap kinda limits it.
