I think they're Ottoman Infantry and check this picture. It's old but could be accurate.
And take a look at IGN's phrase about them:
Ottoman Infantry
Ottoman Infantry are hardy soldiers, well armed and well armoured, they fight with both bows and swords, allowing them to pepper the enemy with arrows and then move into melee to finish them off. Their armour, and training in melee, also means that this unit can hold its ground against enemy units unlike most other missile units.

That one looks like a sheathed sabre to me (recall that such paraphenelia does not change in RTW at least regardless of what the model is fighting with). That, or it would be one really strange looking composite bow...
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

I'd say that's probably them because it does look like the archer at 2,5 and they're pretty much the only Turkish unit using a sword (except hashishin and possibly Azabs). However, the thing you're asking about being a quiver looks more like a curved scabbard to me.
We know that units can get their armour upgraded and that this will be reflected on the models. So I suspect the screenshot in the first post shows the unupgraded units - it may be that you can load up your JHI and Ottoman infantry with rather more armour than custom battle screen suggests.
