The photo above compares three metal sepoy figures from 20mm Nostalgic Revival to three Esci figures (one painted, and two in tan plastic) which could represent their local opponents. Click on the images for a larger version.
Manufacturers’ designations:
The Esci figures are from box 238 “Muslim Warriors.” They have been reissued by Italeri in box 6055 "Arab Warriors."

Nostalgic Revival – 22mm.

Overall conclusions:
The Esci / Italeri figures work very well with the NR sepoys. The height and the sculpting style are very close. There should be no concern about mixing these types on the same table. Note that the painted figure (which was purchased from C Turnitsa), is mounted on a washer, so appears a bit taller than the rest.
