Mid-18th Century Update - Prussia

I HAVE been gradually expanding my collection of mid-18th century armies.
Frederick the Great and his Prussians in five rows
At the front (left-to-right) are a combined battalion of Glasenapp-Lehwaldt grenadiers, three 9pdr guns, von Leps grenadiers and Jäger von Noble.
The second row has single battalions of von Grävenitz and von Röder foot and, to the right, two battalions of von Glasenapp foot.
The third row has von Lehwaldt, von Leps and Markgraf von Brandenburg-Schwedt foot.
In the fourth row are King's hussars, Garde du Corps (kürassiere), Markgraf von Bayreuth dragoons, von Platen dragoons, Markgraf von Brandenburg-Schwedt kürassiere, Red hussars, von Buddenbrock kürassiere and Porzellan dragoons.
At the rear, either side of Frederick the Great, are the yellow-coated Prinz von Preussen kürassiere and the blue-coated Württemberg dragoons.
In all, the Prussians have one general, 8.5 battalions of foot, one unit of jäger, four squadrons of kürassiere, four squadrons of dragoons, two squadrons of hussars and three guns.
