I can see spurs so I guess he was mounted. I can't see any other clues.

If you have the original image use a magnifying glass on the left shoulder to see what letters are on the shoulder strap and if that is a badge at the top of the sleeve.

Thanks for getting back so quickly.
I don't have a magnifying glass, but have extracted the emblem on the shoulder. Second letter looks like a 2 or Z (cf attached ).

Not sure I understand the comment about letters on strap...
