I hope the links with the pictures could be of some help. However, I snooped around a little bit more and found a few more ancient Korean warrior picture-links that may be of some use.

A useful forum that discuss ancient korean warfare.
You mentioned that you searched for pictures of korean warriors that looked as different as possible from the chinese troops. I guess thats the right way to go since korean armor and battle gear looks quite similar to the chinese.
I think by using the special traits as much as possible may do the trick and make the koreans look less chinese. Special traits like the plate turtle necks (common for Koguryeo warriors), the flat redbanded black "amish-like" hats (common for archers and crossbowmen) and the heavy platemail suits/armour (including platemail pants for heavy cavalry).
I have asked before about the use of gunpowder in the game and the chinese fire lances seem to be the only ones with explosive power. But there are so many good pictures and info-links about ancient korean guns, cannons, bombs and rockets that its a shame not to include them. At least I feel so (I am a sucker for really old guns). But I guess that guns is out of the question since the mod has gone so far and already have found its form and style.
