I've only fairly recently seen these images and I must admit I find them fascinating. I do think there is a place for Coureurs de bois in a 1690s force as there seems to be a reasonable amount of evidence they did exist at that time and did go on expeditions.

...that artist clearly wanted you to know that they carried a long musket (a la "Mohicans") didn't he...
Interestingly they look very like some boucaniers.
But I'm afraid neither exist in 28mm...
An outstanding blog - thanks for sharing all these discoveries.
