My second unit of archers will be mostly unarmoured, save for helms, and are simpler sculpts than those of the first unit.

Although this particular miniature has a pleasing look and feel to it (the nice balance of simplicity and pose, perhaps) it’s the best of an uninspiring bunch.

I’m guessing they were earlier sculpts produced when the designer was still feeling his way through the subject matter or else still learning the (at the time new) Copplestone-inspired Foundry look.
