If it is possible to detect: is it a real white (bleached linen?) or off-white (natural wool?) tunic? Is it sleeved or sleeveless? Is the cloak a chlamys?
Is the dagger sheated? What kind is the sheat? It's a shame but I have never seen a Greek warrior depicted with a sheated dagger, so every information is welcomed.
Sorry for ot.
To say at least a little bit about the very interesting Carthaginian reenactment: in my humble opinion the representation of a "Roman like" Carthaginian warrior would be the second best alternative. Better to look as different as possible and accent the national specialities (even if some aspects are not clear) to have diversity and for educational purposes.
