    The hats are called Pith Helmets, mainly used by colonists in Africa and Asia.

    The car is right hand drive which would point to GB but the US also had right hand drive.
    Most American cars produced before 1910 were made with right-side driver seating, although intended for right-side driving.
    Such vehicles remained in common use until 1915,

    Yes, there is. Different tribes and different adaptations to European clothes.
