On the figure of Allan Murray (standing next to Mr. Drummond), he appears to be wearing a waistcoat of somewhat antiquated style. It would appear to button all the way to the throat, and the style of laced pock flaps and the "V" opening on the bottom are of the type that was popular during the 4th quarter of the 18th century (give or take a few years earlier or later). With regard to Mr. Murray's jacket, it appears to be of conventional early 19th century style (2nd quarter and later), and looks like an early ancestor of today's Argyll jacket.
The waistcoat can be had (or you can make one yourself from a pattern) as supplied by reenactor vendors. The jacket pattern can probably be had from historical supply houses, and you would have to have it made by yourself or your tailor.
