In Peter Wacker's book "Das Herzoglich-Nassauische Militär 1806-66", he describes the uniform of the regiment Nassau-Oranien with "Die Aufschläge und die Schoßumschläge waren orange". However, in some depictions, such as Jan Hoynck van Papendrecht 's depiction of the staff and of a fusilier, show the turnbacks as red (images below, both in the collection of the Nationaal Militair Museum). Which of these colourations would be correct?
