Default Manchu quiver

Hi everybody
Need your help with this one: A short quiver with its belt, which I believe may be Manchu-Chinese from 19th century with some Tibetan influence (the cross straps on the front). It has bronze fittings and leather cover. Samples with pierced gilded fittings and velvet cover are often described as being used by the Imperial Guard in Beijing. What do you think, who may have used it, where, and when?
Are you aware of any pictures/paintings/lithographs etc of Chinese soldiers from the 19th century that use this type of quiver? I have only found a painting of Prince Yunli bye Giuseppe Castiglione from about 1730, and that is about 100 years too early, I guess.
Looking forward to your comments,
Best
Ole S
