Looks like more than a regular grooming. I would suspect treating for lice or such.

Maybe the French military borrowed their armour design from the Australian bushranger Ned Kelly? Who knows... I borrowed this image for a blog post over at CherryFingers Dynasty. Thanks for the fantastic pic.

this looks more like a drawing than a photo. Might it be an artist impression of an eyewitness account ?

The body armour looks better made than the helmet, and appears to be the pre-war armour worn by cuirassiers (heavy cavalry). If so, it wasn't bullet-proof!

It wasn't uncommon for photographs to be drawn over back then. Lots of photos use hand touch ups to bring out detail, this one just takes it to an extreme.

Also in Italy "arditi" soldiers used to wear that, if I'm not wrong. But it wasn't so bullet-proof.
