Bueno shows a grenadier of the 15th in shako - I guess it is from the same source as the Osprey.The text says that the white coat was worn until the end of 1809 so apparently the shako was worn from before then!
As to when they were last worn, some had them til virtually the end of the war, despite regs.
IIRC There is thread on the subject of bearskin caps on Dom Goh's Nap Wars.
