5th battalion NC cavalry

Does anyone know what uniforms the 5th battalion NC cavalry would have been issued? I assumed it would probably be North Carolina depot or AoT style uniforms. The 5th battalion was deployed in eastern Tennesse and Kentucky for most of the war, and was sent east to the Kinston, NC area during the final months of the war. I know there are reports of NC units in the AoT being poorly suplied because they were out of their home state, and wondered if this could have been the case with the 5th. I would also like any information on probabl weapons and horse equipage issues if anybody knows. Thanks.
