I plan on putting out an Austerlitz mod some time after the update for the game is released. One of the things that will be featured in the mod is a correct icon for the Chasseurs Corse found in the Augsburg and 1805 OBs. The unit was never used in the game but since it should have been an infantry unit rather than cavalry, and since there will not be any graphics additions in the official updates, I will need to add in my own version of the unit.
Here is a site that has history on the unit:

And here is an image for the unit:

There are currently five squadrons for the cavalry in the OB. As someone may have created a custom scenario and may have used those units, so that their scenario does not crash, I will add the unit to the end of the brigade, but in my own version of the OB files - meaning they will use a different OB filename. As only two scenarios in Campaign Austerlitz use the unit I will not be changing the scenario files in the update but will have my own version of them in the mod. As I do not wish to add in the infantry unit for the official OB view scenario and then have someone complain to Rich H. that the unit does not have a proper icon, I will hold off on adding in the unit for the mod.
I hope this makes sense. As far as I know this is the only unit like this where this happened. My apologies but as the unit was never used in an official scenario I do not feel that it has harmed anyone.
When will the mod come out? Well I can honestly say that Philippe Devine will have one out before I do. Mine will probably come out closer to April or May once I finish up with another game project.
