Yes, that’s an interesting point. Also in 18thC uniforms and weapons had not yet been standardized. It’s possible that less formal units were allowed to use their own personalized sidearms, or that these were acquired privately for them by their commander. It could explain why museums have no jaeger swords to show in their collections.
I found this interesting info about jaeger: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jäger_(infantry)
