Unit skins and sprites - possible errors?

Hi!
I've been recently looking in detail how the Italian AOR units are implemented and found few things that don't seem right to me - even though they might be. So I wondered about the following:

Marsi Spearman uses the aor_etrurian_spearmen soldier but the skin has got the right name - so I guess it's correct. It uses the aor_italy_infantry_sprite.spr sprite though and you can tell the difference - they just loose their spears from distance.
aor etrurian spearmen uses the aor_marsi_spearmen soldier. The skin has the right name too so I guess again it's intended.
The aor_marsi_swordsmen soldier uses rome_velite_sprite.spr sprite. Again it does look strange on the bettlefield.
Marsi Heavy Spearmen uses roman_samnite_warrior soldier and the skin names all indicate samnite origin.
Samnite Heavy Infantry uses aor_italy_infantry soldier, which utilizes the aor_italy_spearmen_sprite.spr sprite. In game it looks just like the Italian skirmisher sprite.
Also, this unit is classified as light infantry.

I realize this all might very well be intended - I just couldn't find any confirmation so i thought I'd ask.
Thanks for you patience

Great spot, welcome to the boards!

I'd noticed a couple of these myself.

Yeah, those guys have been worked over a little. I would go with the original file names, all things being equal. They're going to be entirely reworked in the next version.
