Whalers being shinobis/ninjas, ok there's real other option for them. As for officers, that armor looks way too heavy to be practical in city streets, I would imagine something lighter. Btw, I would also see thugs (Bottle Street/Hatters/Dead Eels) as ronins. I think someone mentioned some of the Bottle Street boys were once in the army, so it would make sense for some of them to be free-roaming samurais.
