No Jim, those are the 1812 -1815 uniforms. OP, three uniform designs involved, 1844 - 1855 (long tailed cutaway coats and 'Albert pots'), 1856 (double breasted longish skirted jackets and French style kepi's), 1857 - 1859 (single breasted  longish skirted jackets and French style kepi's) and 1860 (single breasted short skirted jackets and French style kepi's).

This is from the time of the Crimean War. Most infantry uniforms were the same. Only the number on the helmet and colour of the facings (colours and cuffs) were different.

http://www.thediehards.org.ua/history.htm - for the 57th has two from the same period.
