RevWar is not my strongest suit, so I should probably leave this question to somebody else, however, it would be my understanding that they continued to wear the bearskin mitre-style hats. This was the tradition and uniform of all British Grenadiear Co'ys to my understanding, so I'm doubtful this would have changed when they switched to breeches. I don't know if I have any resource at home that might help, but I'll bet somebody will pipe in on this shortly. If not, I'll see if I have anything "worthwhile" to contribute when I get home tonight.
Though not pertinent to your question, I have a couple of pics of the 42nd Royal Highland Regiment of Foot from the F&IW period on my laptop I thought I would share.
