The photo, that represents a nice view from Budapest around 1900, is not very clear but if your ancestor was from Codlea, near Brasov, he might be drafted in the 2nd IR. Probably on the general issue photo background, the photographer added the head of your grand-grand-father and adapted the colour of the collar and cuffs according the specific facings of the regiment.

I am wondering which Army branch was the soldier shown at left in?
Perhaps he wears a formal cavalry uniform.

@Denes: both solders are Dutch, the one from the left wears a Marechaussees (Royal Dutch Military Police,) uniform. See also: http://www.marechausseesporen.nl/pagina_br...ieuweschans.htm
