Orange and Black stacks are normal, but I have not seen a Copper example and in a different shape, is this original fitment or a replacement.

I'm pretty sure that all the real-life Field Marshalls I have seen have been green. Why are these orange?

A trawl through google images does show most of these in green livery but there are some original orange examples. Perhaps someone decided orange would stand out more or sell better (or maybe there was a glut of orange paint which needed to be used up).
