Sorry to double post...
Here are some more pictures that, according to my research, seem pretty accurate for officers wearing the new 1758 pattern regimental. There doesn't appear to be much if any if the white/red trim, as it's been replaced with gold, but I could be wrong about that.@bryanbekk, I am sure you have seen the paintings by Morier as included in Gale's "A Soldier Like Way" describing the material culture of the British Infantry from 1751 to 1768. Those uniforms on page 93 from 1751 have the buff facings. More important they show the lacing of the 42nd Regiment. Lacing is not just a simple stripe of tape. Often it features a "worm" or pattern woven into the tape. The lacing for the 42nd has such a red "worm" woven into the lacing.
Gale also describes the uniforms of the Highlanders.
