Japanese infantry winter uniform during the Battle of Tsingtao?

Hi I'm currently doing a colourization work on an old photograph, during the 1914 Japanese expedition to Kiaochow and the subsequent Battle of Tsingtao. I've tried to find some source pictures of the Japanese uniform during this period, but largely to no avail. So far I only know that the Japanese infantry winter coat is a greenish-brown colour, and the normal uniform is a more yellowish-brown?

Can anyone provide some more details about the uniform colours?


Does this rough draft look alright?
