I'm quite sure both the newberry and Salix use cougar pittards palms. I haven't heard of peccary leather being used in batting gloves before, so not too sure what it is... Sorry can't take a picture as I don't own a pair, but you'll be able to find some pictures on the internet.

Proper pittards leather is sheepskin, but it may be called peccary because it has been treated to LOOK like peccary (which is a type of pig) leather with a distinctive pattern. With the multi-cultural world of cricket, I can't imagine anyone using genuine peccary leather for cricket equipment.
