In Col1 the tribe weapon/horse stats were on the Indian Advisor screen. Here's
a picture of what it looked like.

Was useful but far from perfect. Others can correct me on this as I'm going by
memory here but I'm pretty sure figures were rounded down to groups of 50 so if
a tribe had 178 muskets it would display 150. 127 horses would be "2 herds" of
50. Personally I'd rather just a flat out true number and nothing fancy like
they did lol! Once again others can correct me on this but I was never quite
sure if the Col1 Indian Advisor weapon/horse numbers updated properly when a
tribe used/spent 50 of either to arm a unit. I remember it used to annoy me
when the Indian advisor would tell me a tribe had bugger all horses & guns plus
hardly any armed units on the map yet all their towns would refuse my trade
carts with them saying they had more then enough lol.
I remember being pleased in FreeCol that the tribes were more interested in
buying weapons and horses off me than in Col1 even if I didn't see them using
them in FreeCol as much as they do in Col1 sadly. In my big game a while back I
saw quite a few mounted braves but armed braves were rare and armed mounted
braves were super rare but yup they are definitely there and not missing Pavel.
No native settlement population figures in Col1 that I can recall. The advisor
just gave a general settlement count.

Where did this information appear in Col1? I have always been dubious
about for example revealing that information on the native settlement
popup, because unless you gave the natives the required horses and
muskets or have a friendly missionary in the settlement, there is no
obvious way you can tell the exact composition of their military.
Currently you can not even tell the settlement population[1]. OTOH, if you
want to add that information at the tribe level in the aggregated native
relations report, that is more defensible. We have a lot of complaints,
which I agree with, that the natives are too weak.

You are right that there are no such dedicated unit types. But there
certainly are Mounted Braves et al. You need to understand Role.java.
