Fix bayonets

During the 1885 attempt to relieve General Gordon in Khartoum were the Mounted Infantry in the Sudan mounted on Camels or on Horses?

Secondly were they armed with Martini-Henry rifles or carbines? The other Camel Regiments appear to be armed with rifles but I was not sure about the Mounted Infantry.

Thirdly What colour uniform did the Mounted Infantry wear? As the units were comprised from men from different regiments did they have their own unform orwere they all different?
