5th Cavalry Regiment, Regular Army (1861-1865)

Before I go re-inventing the wheel, does anyone have - or know someone who has - a roster or returns for the 5th Cavalry during the Civil War, for the period after it reflagged from 2nd Cavalry.

Like from the National Archives' RG 391.3.2 Records of 1st-6th Cavalry Regiments

Thanks in advance.
