I believe rank on the uniform is for Lt Colonel.
This link may not answer your question but it does give some nice info and may be of some interest.

If your main interest is WWI US military, Philip Katcher’s book ‘The American Soldier U.S. Armies in uniform, 1755 to the present’ has a section on uniforms from 1890 to 1920, with a number of decent illustrations.
I could try and post them for you but there may be copy-wright issues!
Failing that scan and email.
