Questionable on the emperors attire but correct in the depiction of Justigniani's "wall defence specialists" - Toichomachoi Franzis calls them.

There were Hungarians in Pelagonia 1259 but only plausible in the 14th century. The archer is probably correct. The attire was common the balkans at the time though.
Turk killing a nobleman (king?)
The helmet comes from the Kremlin armory and it could be common in the Russian and Iberain troops that Kantakouzinos tried to rase. The armor comes from fragment from the Russian Military Museum and hagiographies of the Era.

The "Latinikoi" are corrrct if we assume thay are either troopes of Marchal Busicote (hope I spelled it right.) or Burgundians on loan to Demetrios Paleologos. The "Roman" caries Russian/Iverian equipment and can represent a late Era Varanagian officer.

Helemts based again on Kremlin armory.
The center figure is a probably a Varangian. The left is "regular" infantryman and the right Justigniani's Toichomachos
If we can get web info on them Olga cna help with the translation.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards
