I just followed the discription in the Osprey volume about Maria Theresia's infantry.
This was at least some inspiration: www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=File:Erzherzog_Carl_Infantry_Uniform_1746.jpg
Naturally the uniform was not painted because of the short duration of the style (1741-48). Morier painted the Austrians of Cumberlands army in the new uniform, which maybe arrived at the army in 1748 just before the peace of Aachen.
Obviously the Hungarian lineinfantry played a major role in most of the encounters, which are today forgotten (except me and you perhaps) like Weißenburg and the rivercrossing near Auenheim in 1744.
In my point of view these Hungarian troops fought almost always very well and deserved a better reputation. But today the focus is very much on the Prussian army and some Austrian success in the SYW.
