Only the Gendarmerie was at Blenheim. The other units, which were part of the Maison du Roi, were not. The Gendarmerie was not part of the Maison du Roi. So everything beginning with 005 A and after would have been there and all the units before would not have been.

Thanks! Now I have to figure out how to divide all those companies into figures.

The companies were brigaded in pairs, so there were eight squadrons of about 140 men each. I would just create four BLB "squadrons" and use four company standards that look cool. Otherwise , there would be too many flags. The Project Seven Years War website shows how the companies were paired. Note that the colored shoulder belts distinguishing the companies did not appear until after the WSS.
