That it certainly could be Andreas, and certainly Cavalry Officers on the Indian continent appear to have had more leeway in what they carried. But I am not sure about the Infantry.
Checking the Nassuree history (Captain Kennedy 2OC bought the following to comply with the following orders) of 15th August 1829 from General Orders of the Commander in Chief it says the following;
1. A Regimental sword
2. A Patent leather sword belt, gilt furniture with tache and straps
3. A Black leather Sword knot
4. An extra steel scabbard
5. A black patent pouch with silver lion's head, whistle chain and bugle on pouch
6. A regimental pouch
7. An oilskin bag for sword
So it would seem that they were pretty strict on what you could and could not wear
