The first attempt is not always the right one; in this case, I owe my readers an apology. I carried out further research, expanded the range of sources, and cross-checked the available evidence, eventually arriving at this reconstruction of the uniforms.
I had already suspected that the Fallais Regiment might have had grey facings, largely because the sources made no specific mention of a contrasting facing colour. I then came across a representation of the regiment, and this confirmed that the facings were indeed grey.
So here is the complete revised plate, with my apologies once again.
This is the evolution in 4 steps of my researches:
