Its called a Barretina shako - very similar to the Belgic shako.

Most Napoleonic manufacturers have Portuguese figures in Barretina.

The Portuguese Legion is wearing a French-style uniform. Don't know/think the Portuguese were wearing that cut of coat when they were still equipped with the barretina.

Elite Miniatures does them but in 28mm unfortunately.

Perhaps doing head-swaps may be necessary.
