Hi Temujin,

Sorry I did not answered yesterday...
Look at this two photos and you'll see what I meant:


Bloke on the left behind Maxim HMG has got typical tsarist army cap.



This is not as good, but you can see what influenced Alexander's design.

Amazon Online Reader : The Russian Army 1914-18 (Men-at-Arms)

Go to the cover of the book and enlarge it.

Cheers,
