This tintype in the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art shows Pennsylvania zouaves in the field. Although unidentified, the uniform jackets look similar to those worn by the 72nd Pennsylvania ("Philadelphia Fire Zouaves") and the 95th Pennsylvania ("Gosline's Zouaves"). The soldier in the foreground is holding an Enfield musket. The 95th regiment carried Springfields, so I'm guessing this photo is of the 72nd Pennsylvania.
