Default St Louis Uniform/Player Help (1895-1905)

Can anyone here id the coat worn by this player (the brown full-body image)? Or even better, the player himself?

I have also uploaded a few pictures of 1905 St Louis Browns with this coat on ... MINUS the arm bands with the StL logo on it. (The players are Buchanan and Moran ... there are lots more pics of other players with the coat on from the same day.)

I know that local teams sometimes had knockoffs of jerseys made but it seems (to me, anyway) more of a stretch that someone would have a knockoff of the heavy coat as well.

Everything appears to match on the coats, even the buttons, apart from that arm band. My hope is that the bands were added for a later season or removed from the coats following a previous season.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
