Troopers sword pattern 1821 identification

I believe this sword is not British but possibly a foreign country purchase.
The scabbard marking on the drag is not seen on any British swords.
There is no grip wire on British 1821P swords.
No British acceptance stamps on this one.
The scabbard has bands that are spaced much closer than seen on most British swords though Matt Easton recently sold an 1821p with the same scabbard band spacing marked to a yeomanry regiment and with acceptance markings.
