The Russian are actually from after the Napoleonic wars. They contain the cypher of Nicholas I, who came to power in 1825.
The french flag on top is a Old Guard flag with the names of battles this regiment distinguished itself in. These are also called “Battle Honours” and can be found on many many flags, many modern french regimental flags still carry these battle honours given by napoleon himself to the respective regiment.
