Proper unit skins for Bandit Heavy xbow and Mounted Samurai units?

These units were added long time back to the editor but never got proper skins while everything else after that got actual skins.So can we expect these to get correct skins someday?

In the alpha version, these assets existed for Bandit (then Infiltrator) and (Advanced) Heavy Crossbowman:
infiltrator-alpha adv-heavy-crossbowman-alpha
(the rest of their graphics were AoE1 placeholders)

The Imperial Legionary also lacks distinct graphics, though the editor unit actually precedes the trainable one.

Anyway, there are also still various heroes deserving unique graphics. These three (four?) non-hero units would be a good start before dealing with them.

I expected a skin like that with the release of V&V, due to the multiple Japanese scenarios.
Then I expected it with TTK due to the East Asian theme.
Then I gave up expecting it.
