Corrected entry: Through most of the movie, General Lee is seen wearing an officer's frock coat with an erect collar and the rank insignia of Colonel (3 stars) on the outside of the collar. In every picture I've ever seen of Lee, he is wearing a frock opened on top with the collar laying flat and the Colonel stars on the inside of the collar. Toward the end Lee is finally seen wearing this coat.

Correction: Could he not have had both styles, and only favored being photographed in the one? It's not like there were many candid photos in that day and age, so he would have had time to get changed into his flat-collar coat whenever he saw the tripod going up.
