Continuing, the original Hungarian Busby is noticeably different from the bearskins of the British grenadiers and French imperial guard. Notice the cloth and feather/plum, the flat top and how it's only slightly taller than wide. Hussars of most Nations had hats like this, including the famous Death's Head Hussars.

British infantry, especially early light infantry and rifle regiments worry a 'busby' that was floppy and almost entirely or wholly cloth. It's stupid and they should feel bad for calling it that. It did have a feather though.
