USCT info on MS regiments

I have always wanted to find out what I can on any photos on the 11th LA Inf a.d./49th USCT. Unit served in Vicksburg and part served also in Port Gibson and Waterproof, LA guarding a good cotton crop before harvest.

Vicksburg couthouse museum only had some unidentified photos of a few of those troops in Vicksburg and don't think NPS museum at the battlefield had anything much either as I remember from my visits to both..
I do have the NARA file on this unit. My g.greatfather was a 1st Sgt in Co H Aug 63-Jun64 when he received a disability discharge and then got well and became the QM Agent on Is. #98. at $100 a month.

Any help appreciated.
