Thanks grahamew again for details. I also thought the Modoc (and Klamath) might have been influenced by Oregon / Plateau tribes and it is said they have been taking part in trade gatherings like at The Dalles and brought with them ideas and items that influenced them. Plains influneces in buckskn clothing, shields, braid otter fur wrappings, of course horses and guns are mentioned in an article "Klamath-Modoc culture change, by B.K. Swartz jr. that I once found online but seems not to be availabe online this time. I have in paper form though.
Hints to find here also:

www.academia.edu/38696821/The_Cultural_Landscape_of_the_Klamath_Modoc_and_Yahooskin_Peoples_Spirit_Nature_History (you may to have sign in though to be able to read)
Anyway it seems that not much of traditional style clothing,or Plains/Plateau influenced style was found among both Modoc and Klamath when photography was at hand in their tribal lands, maybe this more traditional clothing was lost rapidly mostly after 1860 and certainly was the case after the Modoc war of 1873. Seemingly not really much had been photographed of this subject, unless some photos may show up in the futures still that can teach us more.
Regarding Hollow Tooth, - did you find out he was living in Illinois, if I understood that right ? Would be interesting then to learn how he came to live in Illinois while the rest of the tribe ended up in Oklahoma, may be an interesing story for sure.
Thanks and greetings
